Prelim

Prelim

As a group me (Curtis Tiplady), Ben Brearley & Tilly Dennis made a short film which was the 'Prelim'. Introducing Curtis Tiplady. Directed by Ben Brearley. Extra's Tilly Dennis.

The task was to create a short film which consisted of 3 camera shots which were, match on action, the 180 degree rule and the shot reverse shot. The video itself was shot in school, which Ben filmed the clip is only around 30 seconds long due to the very short dialogue. After the film was shot we used the macs to edit the video so it ran smoothly.



180 degree rule:
180 degree rule

The rule is that the camera stays in line with the imaginary line, which can be seen in the image of the right. The rule enforces continuity of the film.








Match on action:
Match on action
Technique used for continuity like the 180 degree rule. One shot cuts to a close up of the action of the subject in the first shot as shown in the picture on the right.







Shot reverse shot

Shot reverse shot:
This is a technique used in conversations, this is also a continuity editing technique

  1. You need to embed the actual prelim.
    Overall, the blog is generally missing embedded videos; generally lacks imagery; lacks clear sub-headings and has some small text. Many posts lack sufficient detail.
