preliminary task brief

As a class we were given our first assessed practical task called the preliminary task. This is designed to help us see where we go wrong and what we can improve on for our main task

 The Brief: Continuity task involving filmed and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, where he/she exchanges a couple lines of dialogue with the person they are sat opposite to. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot, the 180 degree rule and rule of thirds.

 we were shown a few videos of other peoples preliminary tasks online to give us an idea of what the examiners are looking for. we also looked at a clip from the film Flashdance, which demonstrates good examples of all of these features they are asking for in my preliminary task.
