For our preliminary task, we had to show that we could demonstrate the 180 degree rule, a match on action shot, shot/reverse shot and be able to edit the footage together to create the final preliminary task. The object of this task was so that we could understand how the camera and editing studio works, as well as gaining more of an understanding of what shots we could include in our final thriller.
From our knowledge of using the cameras for the preliminary, we decided that wherever possible we would use the tripod to help create steadier and smoother pans and tilts. After we had discussed what storyline we would have for our opening, we decided to include some varied shots in order to keep the camera movements interesting for the audience. We decided that we would include high and low angle shot to help establish power in certain characters and to add to the variety of shots in our opening.
Due to our location we found it difficult to achieve the high and low angle shots without using the tripod, but felt that the shots were successful in what we wanted them to achieve. We also didn’t use the tripod on the point of view shot, another shot that we wanted to included adding suspense to our thriller as well as a variety of angles and shots.
