Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

• In the preliminary task we followed the 180 degree rule through thoroughly. When using the 180 degree rule we filmed a lengthy conversation between me and Matt using a shot reverse shot making sure the 180 degree rule was followed correctly. In our opening we used the 180 degree rule when Kieran and Matt find the briefcase in the woods. We had to keep to the 180 degree rule because if we didn't the shot would not have been correct or continuous.

• In the preliminary task match on action was used when i open the door to enter the meeting with Matt. To make the shot continuous we shot it from three different angles which we later combined. We also used match on action in our two minute opening when Kieran and Matt find the case which they later open. It was alot smoorher in the two minute opening as we had alot of practise using the editing software since the preliminary task.  

• In the preliminary task we used the shot reverse shot alot because of the conversation that we filmed. Me and Matt were having an interview in the clip so whilst applying to the 180 degree rule we had to use many shot reverse shots.  In the two minute opening we only used the shot reverse shot slighty and that was when Matt and Kieran were in the alleyway whilst harry was at the other end. After the preliminary task we had alot of experience with the shot reverse shot so we managed to get everything running together smoothly.
