PRELIMINARY TASK

For our preliminary task we were shown a short video and were told we had to copy it and re make it exactly the same. We followed a list of instructions that it had to follow. the directs that we were given were:
1. Long shot
2. Cut to a close up
3. Cut to a medium long shot
4. Cut to a medium shot
5. Cut to a 2-shot, a long shot of the two people in the room
6. Cut to a over the shoulder medium close up with dialogue
7. Cut to an over the shoulder shot
8. Cut back to the original over the shoulder shot
9. Cut to the second over the shoulder shot
10. Cut back to the original over the shoulder shot
11. Cut back to the second over the shoulder shot. Fade out and end.

I found it very useful and helpful to do this because it allowed me to become familiar to how the camera worked and what looked good and what didn't, it also allowed me to see how the editing process worked. It has also helped me when i've been planning my time because it has showed me how long it takes to make and edit.
