Preliminary Task

    

In this Preliminary task we recorded a fight scene in between a Turkish person, which was me, and a Irish person, which was Billy. It was a based over the money which belongs to the Turkish person but wasn't given to by the Irish person.

We demonstrated in this Preliminary task that we included continuity editing, which included eye-line match, match on action, shot/reverse shot and to keep to the 180° rule. First I will be explaining what these what each one of them mean. 

Eye-line match is when we see a character looking at something off screen and then have cut to the next shot of what they were looking at.

Match on action is when we see a character that starts an action in one shot, and then see the character continue there action in the next shot. 

Shot/reverse shot is when one character is looking at another character then having that character looking at the the other character. This is usually used in conversations as an over the shoulder shot. 

The 180° rule is a basic guideline that states that two characters (or other elements) in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other.

We did all of the continuity in our video successfully, but what we could of done to improve our video is to add sounds in, for example diegetic and non-diegetic sounds to make the video look better, but this will help us not make the same mistake when it comes to the thriller opening that we will be recording.
