Preliminary Task - The Brief

For our preliminary task, we had to storyboard, film and edit a short sequence featuring the following;


-Person A walks towards door

-Person A enters through the door and crosses the room to person B

-Person A and B exchange lines

-Either person A or B exits room


It also needed to include the following 'film rules';

-Match on Action;
(when we see a character start an action in one shot and then see them continue into the next shot)

-The 180 degree rule;
(a basic guideline that states that two characters in the scene should always have the same left/right relationship to eachother. If the camera passes over the imaginary line connecting the two subjects it is called 'crossing the line').

-Shot/Reverse shot;
(when you have the camera on one character whilst they are talking and this switches from character to character depending on who is talking)
