Filming the preliminary task allowed me improve upon my
ability to construct media products using appropriate technical and creative
skills. The preliminary task is a continuity exercise that's purpose is to,
together with a group, shoot a two min continuity and edit it with adobe
premiere. Through the shooting of this task I together with my group furthered
my knowledge about camera management, creating a sequence, editing in
postproduction, match on action, the use of shot reverse shot and the 180-degree
rule.
During our fourth studio lesson we began
and finished filming the preliminary task. . The purpose of the preliminary task is
to, together with a group, shoot a two min continuity that follows the
storyboard given to your group (Presented in the post) and edit it with adobe
premiere. By doing so our group was able to practice the different roles
present on a film set. For instance we would constantly change the camera
operator and director to allow every member of the group at having a go at
either filming or directing. Furthermore the preliminary task gave us an opportunity
to shoot a sequence like we have before, but a one that is more complex and
filmed in our vision. Continuing the preliminary task also showed me and my
team how long it can take to shoot a simple two-minute sequence, thus preparing
us for future shootings. Overall I'd say that shooting the preliminary, whilst fun, was very similar in a sense to revising for a test. I say so because I practiced everything that I have learned in the previous studio lessons and thus have strengthened my knowledge about the following subjects in media studies. Finally I think shooting the preliminary task together with my group was a success.
