Preliminary Task

This week you are to be working on your preliminary task.

Ideally in small groups (although not compulsory) you need to come up with a storyline which features a character OPENING A DOOR, CROSSING A ROOM AND SITTING DOWN.

There then needs to be a small EXCHANGE OF DIALOGUE with another character.

The aim of this task is to experiment with varying camera shots and editing together work.

Your preliminary should be short and simple. And it MUST feature the following:

- A match on action shot
- A shot-reverse shot
- Follow the 180 degree rule.

This clip from friends gives examples of the shot types - as does the Hot Fuzz example further down the page.




You preliminary posts must include:

  • Notes on 3 shot types. 
  • Brainstorm to show ideas for film 
  • Storyboard for film 
  • Script for the dialogue to film 
  • Edited film 
  • Evaluation/analysis of preliminary production (Keep it brief – must say what was learnt and how the preliminary task will help you in your main project.

These are some example preliminary tasks from previous years.
