The Preliminary task is not awarded any marks, 

but if the task was not complete marks will be lost.

The preliminary task is a demonstration of continuity editing.

It must show you can successfully use:

-Match on action

-Shot/reverse shot

-180 degree rule

-eye line match

Key Edits: 

Match on action - We see a character start an action in 

                                  one shot and then see them continue it in the next shot.  

Eg, We see them push the handle of a door,

 then see them walk through the door from the other side.

180 Degree Rule: The 180 degree rule is a guideline that states 

that 2 characters, cars, objects etc, in some scenes should

always have the sameleft/right relationship to each other in the frame.

If the camera passes over an imaginary axis connecting the 2 subjects,

it is called ‘crossing the line.’

In the sequence we have filmed,

you will see the following action unfold:

-Character A, walks towards a closed door.
-Character A, enters through the door and confronts
character B who is embarrassingly dancing on the table.
-This means character A and B have a dialogue,
eye line match and Character A, exits again.




This is my Preliminary task;
