Preliminary Task

Original Version

We have created a Preliminary task in which a boy walks into a room, by opening a door, and says a few lines. In the scene, we stick to several rules, including the 180 rule, match on action and shot reverse shot. The scene turned out like I wanted it to except for the editing, as the computer we edited on didnt have sound we repeated a clip which doesnt look proffesional, I will re-edit the footage so that it looks professional and clean. To begin with you see a  title shot with the producers, directors and actors names, this allows the audience to know what they are watching and who is in it and produced it.The next shot is that of a boy walking down the corridor, this allows the audience to understand where the scene is being set and who the main charcter is. It then cuts to the next shot of him walking down the corridor, this time you see a door to the left of the shot. This is where we use match on action. The boy pushes down the handle and it has another shot, close up when he does this. The next shot is of the boy walking into the room. As the boy walks past the camera it does not pan at all. It flicks to the next which is facing a boy who is sitting down, the boy who walked through the door walks past the camera into shot. An alternate editing method instead of just cutting from one shot to another, you could of panned the camera, making a smoother finish. But usually panning the camera results in camera wobble, which can produce a non-proffesional finish.The boy sits down in a chair and the camera cuts to a close up of his face. He says "Hello, How are you?" and the boy replies, "I'm good thanks, but why are you so late?" In this conversation, i stuck to the 180 rule, which means stick to one side of the action, this helps keep continuity and makes the scene believable for the audience. It then also shows one more shot of the boy who walked through the door and it ends. If i was to redo it, I would of used a computer with sound so that the dialogue followed correctly and the scene flowed in order.
