1. Assignment
12
Preliminary Research Task

2. What is the preliminary task?
A task before you start the opening
sequence, for example how to handle
cameras

3. A successful preliminary task
180 degree rule is
accurately applied
throughout the
conversation

4. range of shots
Two shot
Establishing
shot

5. Reverse shot, clear and
evident to the audience
Match on
action, clear and
correct

6. The continuity is very good, the boy is wearing
the same watch on the same wrist throughout
the task

7. The level I would rate this
video
Ithink this task got a level 3, because they
clearly included the major elements such
as reverse shot, match on action,
continuity and 180 degree rule and there
wasn’t a wide range of shots.

8. Poor preliminary task
The video shows the boy reaching for the
door and walking straight past the door.
There isn’t a match on action of him
actually holding the door knob.

9. Point of view shot; not
clear

10. The level I would rate this
video
Iwould give this video a Level 1 because
there is a lack of main aspects, there’s no
evidence of 180 degree rule or reverse
shot.

11. What have I learnt
Ihave learnt to make sure every aspect
(180 degree rule, continuity, match on
action, reverse shot, range of shots) is
applied in my preliminary video.
