Evaluation Task 7

What have we learnt about editing and camera work since our preliminary task?

We had learnt many things about camera composition, and using different camera shots to enhance scenes in a clip. For example, when Lewis Hall is kicked, We used a dolly shot which followed him flying in the air and landing on the ground. and we used another dolly shot when Lewis hall is walking around the Hut, and Filthy Frank ambushes him. 

Another example which we learnt from our preliminary task and put into our opening two minutes was a match on action shot. The main reason we did this in was because it also enhances the chain of clips, as the audience is introduced to what the character is doing, and is seen clearly, for example, in our main shot (below), we used match on action to show Filthy Frank picking up the gun and hitting Lewis Hall with it. 

In our preliminary task, we were able to use the 180 degree rule, however we did not use this method correctly because we did not film off the same side, e.g. which is evident in the following two pictures, however in our main film we were able to take a perfect shot reverse shot but could not include one side of the shot, so it just made the shot a over the shoulder shot. The reason i did not include the 180 degree shot reverse shot was because it would have gone over the time allowed for the opening two minutes.
