KB - Bad Prelim For our Preliminary Task, we made one bad scene, and one good scene, in which one character had to open a door, enter a room, and exchange dialogue, then one character had to leave the room. For our bad prelim, we made mistakes on our editing, and our match on action, and the 180 rule.
In our bad prelim, we had several editing errors. In one of the opening shots, Keiran enters the room, and the door shuts behind him, and then in the next shot he turns around an closes door again. This is clearly an error in editing, and as a result, the scene doesn't flow, and looks ridiculous to the viewer. As Keiran fist bumps Ollie, he misses the first bump and the video then cuts straight to the second bump. Due to this, the audio jumps and repeats, making it difficult to hear and comprehend what is being said.
KB - Better Prelim
We filmed another preliminary task to try and improve on our previous attempt. Our main ambition for this was to make the video flow better, and I think we achieved this, at least compared to our first attempt. We made sure that we used the 180 rule, and edited the clips so that they are coherent.
However, we still had a few errors in sound, camera and editing. For example, Keiran still shakes the camera as he walks past, as this is the only clip we had. Also we had a mistake in filming, when Brittany gets up to leave the room. We did not think to film her walking from the chair to the door, and this causes the video to jump slightly.
