A Preliminary task is something which you have to complete at the start of your coursework in AS Media, it is a one minute clip which you need actors in which must involve match on action, shot reverse shot and 180-degree rule. The characters must exchange a couple lines of dialogue. Our story was based on a job interview, one actor was in and office preparing to interview someone, and the other actor was someone who was getting interviewed. We've personally created our preliminary task due to the fact that Harry was the main actor of our preliminary task being the person who was getting interviewed, and Charlie was the actor who was actually interview Harry. A lot of our camera angles went well during our preliminary task. so for example when Kiera, who was our camera person recorded a couple shots in a shot reverse shot, they were mostly clear and you could clearly hear what both the actors were saying. To improve our preliminary task we could have included a bit more dialogue on both characters parts. But overall I feel like our preliminary task went reasonably well as I feel like we filmed all of the camera shots to our best ability and I feel like our actors done a good job in playing their roles. When Charlie and Harry were half way through the interview Kiera started using a shot reverse shot, this is when Charlie and Harry were facing each other talking and Kiera was filming over Harry's right shoulder, this is when Kiera would then move the camera behind Charlie and start filming over Charlie's left shoulder. This is exactly the same as the 180-degree rule, which is a cinematographic guideline that states that two characters in a scene should maintain the same left/right relationship to one another. All three of us decided to film a job interview due to the fact that it is quite easy and effective to get the various camera angles and shots which were needed in order to create this Preliminary task. We made our preliminary task a job interview due to the fact that you can use a variation of complex shots which are easy to perform. From our Preliminary Task I have learnt a couple different shots which I did not completely understand before hand, so for example a shot reverse shot, I didn't realise that to perform a shot reverse shot then you must abide by the 180-degree rule.
