Preliminary Task - Teamwork

Team work:

I am working with beth for my preliminary task. We have been working well together. We managed to sort out a date to film easily and got it done quickly. We have come across a few small problems during our task, such as location, but we disscussed the problem and managed to sort it out quickly. Making working together very easy. We also discussed who's doing what task and they have been done. So far we are up to editing the film and are about half way through it. We have both discussed what would look great on film. And put our ideas to the test with different effects. We have also shared the roles making it very effective and easy to work together.

Preliminary Task - Camera Skills

This short essay will be about the benefits of using multi camera when shooting and how using a tripod can benefit filming.


Some benefits of using a tripod:

• It holds the camera in a precise position
• Reduces the risk of camera blur due to free hand shooting
• Using a tripod makes for easier shooting as it allows you to do certain aspect such as pans and tilts easier

Some benefits of using multi cameras:

• It makes filming the 180 degree rule easier
• It will speed up filming as you dont have to use a single camera to get every shot
• Means you dont have to move the camera around to get different shots
• You can capture different angles alot easier

180 Degree Rule:

This is a short film on the 180 degree rule
