Preliminary Evaluation (Elona Doci)

Our Preliminary task was to create a video which used different camera angles, as well as showing our continuity editing skills.
For this task i worked with Jessica, Shannon and Felicity.
As we had to video in school we all choose certain thing to do. Shannon and Jessica were in charge or the filming whilst me and Felicity set the camera up before anything could be filmed and them we were actually in the video being filmed.

Before we started filming we made a plan so that we were able to go out knowing what we were doing so we had enough time to film everything.
For the filming we needed to film both inside and outside and one of the things that took some times was having to set the white balance for each place we were filming in, this took quite some time and was slightly off at the beginning of the video.

When we were filming we made sure we filmed enough so that when it came to editing we were able to use clips from every part and merge them together. When editing we had to make sure that the action flowed throughout and made sense to the audience; We had to add in a transition as we didn't fully film me walking and sitting in my chair therefore we had to add in the transition to make up for the missing footage.

One of the criteria of the task was to include match on action. This is when something is happening in a scene and there is a cut, however the same piece of action is still going on after the cut but from a different angle; this is also an example of continuity editing as it is making clear to the audience what is going on and they are able to follow the action.

The next time we film we must remember to set the white balance for each place we are filming in and to make sure that we have all the footage we need and extra just incase.
