Preliminary excersise

We are now in the process of completing our preliminary exercise. We will try out some of our camera, mise en scene, lighting, and editing ideas through this. The video will be no longer than a minuet and must show a door opening through two shots, followed by the person who opened the door sitting down opposite somebody.Dialogue must then be exchanged. There are a number of techniques that we must use: • Match on action-Shot of character starting action, and completing of action in next shot • Shot/reverse shot-editing pattern that cuts to the view in the opposite direction (often used for dialogue) • The 180 degree rule-keep camera on one side We must also make the film funny and use a wide variety of shots.
