Preliminary Task

For our preliminary task we filmed a short sequence of shots, using a variety of shot types. We used close ups on the main focuses such as the wallet being thrown down on to the table as this highlights its relevance in the film. The way we filmed the wallet being shown was also an example of 'match on action' as we cut between to views of the same action at the same time, in future I would edit this more carefully to make the motion look completely uninterrupted. We used a 'shot reverse shot' between Jordan and Will which used close ups showing characters expressions. We used the editing software to switch between shots on either side of doors, making it possible to continue following Jordan as he entered different parts of the building. One negative aspect of our film which we would change in future tasks was that the camera was not always held completely steady as we did not have a tripod available to use.
