FIRST PRELIMINARY TASK

   

The preliminary task consist of many successful elements. The close up at the end allowed us an in depth insight into the character's emotional response to current situation (on the character's face). The over the shoulder shot was precise and enabled each character's speech to work smoothly and the 180 degree rule was maintained. The shot reverse shot further supports the over the shoulder shot and works really well.

The problematic aspects included, most evidently, the jump cuts. The jump cuts were random at times, most specifically when "the interrogator's" leg changes from not crossed, to being crossed. It made the scene seem unusual and quite abrupt. The ariel shot should have been more apparent and visible in order to have that full effect of exposure and focus on the characters.

The process of making it was fairly simple although I did encounter minor difficulty with the camera. I was able to establish a strong, solid plan before embarking the process; this made it easier to film. The continuity aspect was also fairly easy.

 The close up on the characters face allows us to establish our view on the character and gain an in-depth insight on the characters response to their current situation.

The over the shoulder the shoulder shots were clear and visible and effective.

This attempt at an ariel shot was not as clear as it should be. It lacked clarity and should have been from an even higher angle.
