Pre Production Tasks

)     Before I started filming my short film, I made a story board consisting of the shots I needed for sequencing which corresponded with the script I wrote during the lesson. It is extremely important to have a storyboard to reference throughout the filming process The locations I scouted was the free classroom nearest my media classroom.

Continuity Editing

Continuity editing is a form of editing used to make scenes seem 'seamless' as if there were no errors. This enhances the viewers understanding of the scene as well as their enjoyment.
Key rules in continuity editing include:


         ·   Establishing shot

·   Shot reverse shot

·   Eyeline match

·   The 180 degree rule (or "Axis of action")

·   The 30 degree rule

·   Cutting on action

Preliminary Task- Video Task

The Preliminary task involves filming and editing a scene in which you use the 180 degree rule, match on action, a cutaway and a series of shot reverse shots to show a character opening a door, crossing a room to sit down and talk to another character opposite, with a few lines of dialogue.
