1 & 2. Video embedding & Writing: Preliminary Task Evaluation

The 180 degree rule is when the camera has to remain on the same side of a persons viewpoint throughout the scene; If the camera ever moves to the other side the rule is broken. A match on action shot is when the camera cuts to a different shot of what has just taken place but shown differently. When the picture is handed back to the girl we used a match on action shot. A shot reverse shot is when a character is seen looking at another and we then see the other characters viewpoint looking back at them. We used this throughout the conversation between the two main characters in the scene.
We ensured the person operating the camera was always filming from the same shoulder on each character so we wouldn't break the 180 degree rule. For the match on action shot we filmed the handing over of the picture and in editing combined the two shots to make it flow.

We decided on using the staircase to start the scene off and found an open space away from classrooms so we were not disturbed in the college. We planned a storyboard which had the camera shots we needed and used this as a check list when filming.

Video editing required us importing the relative content onto the computer and into Adobe Premiere. The clips were too long and much of the footage could be cut out of each take so we didn't go over the time limit and the action happened within the scene and not including content that didn't need to be in the film such as getting ready to walk. When cutting the markers were useful to cut segments off each clip that could be stopped within points of a second and the timeline below which showed the order. Transitions were added later on in editing and we included a fade in effect. There were no sound effects; However, there was diegetic sound of books dropping on the floor loudly which symbolised an abrupt entrance. To finish the titles were selected which were white for the characters names and "So Cliché" and a pink that wasn't bright as the film would not be aimed entirely on a female audience. There were various background tracks available on Royalty Free Music -Incompetech to download for free so we used this for the music at the start of the scene. By searching through genre/feel we could find suitable music to create the atmosphere we wanted which was quirky but relaxing to begin with.
