Evaluation of our Preliminary Task- Camera

As a group we needed to film a short clip demonstrating our camera and editing skills. We needed to show that we are able to display a mathched cut and the 180 degree rule in our short clip. We also needed to put it all together using the Final Cut Express software.

The 180 degree rule
After deciding what we would do, we needed to film our short clip a number of times from two different angles to display the fact that we can use the 180 degree rule. As there was only the two of us in the scene, we had to film the whole performance through once from behind one person and then again from the opposite direction


The two pictures show the two different camera angles we used for the 180 degree rule.















The Matched Cut
When filming the matched cut in our piece we needed to film somebody walking through a door from two seperate angle. One of the angles is from outside the room the man was entering and the other camera angle was inside the room. We needed to match them together using Final Cut Express after filming to make it fluent.
