We learnt a lot about the cameras and editing during the preliminary task. We were able to use and setup a camera, and contruct a number of different shots; for instance we used a couple of high and low angle shots, close and long shots medium shots and the key shot in the task, the shot reverse shot. We have learnt that when you familiarise yourself with the camera, the number of shots that can be used are not limited. As for the editing sofware, Final Cut, we were able to learn the most basic editing techniques; continuity editing, and we learnt how to match cuts as some of our scene filmed were a little too fast. However, we also learnt how to modify the speed of the clip.
In the filming and editing of your project, what worked well and what could have been improved?
Close up shot continity was smooth and so this worked very well with the rest of the clip.

We think that the positioning of the shot/reverse shot could have been improved also sound quality was low, so perhaps the actors speaking should become louder.
Give a detailed, specific example of how you have used a shot/reverse shot combination in your film
In our preliminary task we used a set of shot/reverse shots, we used this shot for the interview section of the sequence. A shot/reverse shot is what shows a person over another persons shoulder. You would do this over both of the characters shoulders. Then in the editing suite you would combine the two angles to creat a shot/reverse shot combination.
Give a detailed, specific example of how you acheived match cuts during the editing process
Opening and closing door. in our preliminary task we used match cuts all the way through for exaomple when Katie was entering the room and when she was having a conversation with Yolanda. when Katie was entering the room the cuts between her and Yolanda had to match up almost exactly when she was walking to the door, opening using the handle, pushing the door, then the shot had to be from the same point on the other side. this created a match cut.

How did you achieve continuity in the task? Or if your transitions weren't entirely smooth, what have you learnt from this?
We achieved continuity by slowing scenes down, editing them together making it a smooth transaction. the slow smooth scenes create an understandable atmosphere making it easier for the audience to comprehend.
