Preliminary Task Video

It was instructed to us that we had to complete a preliminary task before shooting our own film. The task involves filming and editing a scene that would prepare us for dealing with continuity issues. The scene involves a character opening a door crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue.

We decided to have our classmate come into the room, very excited about a monologue that she has to study and perform for drama while myself and another classmate listen attentively and ask questions about her monologue.

We will make use of match on action shots and the style of shot reverse shot, while using the 180 degree rule.
