The preliminary task- how it all happened...

We started by making a story board so we know exactly what we are doing;

The preliminary task completed

 These are the 5 different settings that we have been to whilst videoing this task.

This first photo is before we supposed to do a tracking shot of me and Laura walking. Shannon and James have them panned it to show that we have walked pass them .

This image is a when me and Laura were just about to open the door, to show how we walk out of the door. We have kept the camera on that side so that we do not have any continuity problems, so we had to stick with the 180 degree rule.

This is an image of James getting ready to film us just as we walk round the corner. This got a nice 2 shot but also a long shot of me and Laura.

This is two shot of me and Laura and it shows that we are walking towards the canteen. This is also a long shot but required the pan movement as we were about to turn.

This is the last setting and the most important one because we play cards in this setting and therefore there is some good used of a variety of shots.

Evaluation

I think that we have learned a lot from this task; for example the good things i thought was some of the shot angles and the way that we thought out the story. We have worked as a team very well and agreed and compromised together to get the final result.

However, there are lots of jump cuts and we do have some problems with continuity. Also whilst editing, we have realised that if we have done things differently, it would of made editing part a lot more easier.

On the actual thriller, i would like to keep working in a great team of people and learn from our mistakes that we have seen straight away after we have done the prelim. task.
