How did the preliminary task help?
In our preliminary task we found it easy to stick to the match on action and shot reverse shot rules. The only struggles we had was deciding where to place the camera to make sure the audience could see the right objects at the right time.
This specific shot reverse shot of John and Connor was very useful for us as we knew what we had to do for the actual film. We were not allowed to cross the 180degree line, which we didnt in the film we made.
At the part where Connor (Jim) argues with John (Boris), the camera cuts to a close up of Connor as he begins to talk. After that, a retaliation is made by Nicole once the two boys start arguing, where by then the camera cuts to Nicole to give a retaliation shot, which is the reverse shot. (Connor is not talking to Nicole, he is talking to John whilst he is sat in between John and Nicole but Nicole retaliates to what Connor said).
We have also included a match on action in our film which made the movement of John look a lot more quick. This is quite similar to the match on action in the preliminary task as in both videos there is a door being opened and a door being closed. This made it easy for us to complete the match on action without maximum effort as we had already done a similar match on action before. The match on action is when John starts to shut the door. At first there is a point of view shot which is meant to be John and then the camera changes to a different angle by where the audience could see that it was John running.
It is evident to see that we have developed our skill at the match on action, as in the preliminary task we only did a match on action edit when Connor opened up the doors and we didn't do any other match on actions after that. In DNA-Pocalypse we used match on actions frequently as we figured it would be more realalistic and entertaining for the audience.
