Preliminary Match Cut Exercise Evaluation

In our lesson we had to film a sequence making sure we used at least one match cut, an example of shot/reverse shot and showing our understanding of the 180 Degree Rule by not breaking it.

Firstly, we were given the brief that  stated what we should do and what we should include in our scene. Before filming we produced storyboards showing the various shots and camera angels we had to use. This was effective as we were able to have a blueprint of what we were supposed to do which also made the task easier.

We then went to film, and filmed a character opening a door then walking into a room and then sitting opposite another character as they then share a few lines of dialogue. We did this in the style of a thriller by having a close up of the door handle when Dilan put her hand on the door handle. I think that this was effective as it added tension and suspense to the scene. When we finished filming we took sections from it and pasted it together on "Final Cut Pro" which then made the "Anamatic".

After that we edited it so we could have a soundtrack. We looked at different "Foley Sounds" on "Soundtrack Pro" as well as using our own sound effects, for example the sound of a door closing and papers getting scattered on a table. using these effects made the scene more intriguing to watch as it made it realistic.

Sound was used to make the scene come alive. This is effective as it also follows the conventions of film openings. As a group we used film titles at the beginning and used it in a suitable order, for instance we showed the title of our piece first which was "Report" followed by the directors name, Saskie Logan and then the actors names.
