In the preliminary task i was working with Jack Fraser, Ayush Bhatt and Danny Canary.
The Preliminary task is that we had to use match on action, eye line match, reverse shot and 180 degree rule successfully.
Evaluation
we was filming in a classroom, where we had a clear view of the door so we could get the match on action easily. we moved some tables around in the classroom and made it look like a interrogation room as are short clip was based on a detective interrogating a murder trying to get the man to confess to it. The detective was played by Jack Fraser and the murder was played by Danny Canary, i was the camera man and Ayush was the sound man.
The eye line match was Danny looking at the clock watching time go by while he is waiting for the police officer to come into the room to question him, The match on action was jack walking through the door into the room and we keep the 180 degree rule as we stayed on the same side of the room. the shot, reverse shot was the conversation that was taken place by Danny and Jack.
i believe that i used all the techniques accurately, the only mistake we made was that we didn't finish filming in a day so when we come to finish it the next day we was wearing different clothes. so next time i would try to finish the exercise quicker.
overall i believe that the most positive element of my film was the match on action as it was timed perfectly. The only improvements that we would need to make is to try a finish the filming quicker.

Continuity Editing
What is Continuity Editing
This style of editing retains a sense of realistic chronology and generates the feeling that time is moving forward. the use of flashbacks or flash forwards maybe used but the narrative will still be seen to be progressing forward. within this style of editing there are many terms or ways of implementing the style. these affects can be used independently of each other to create desired affects
Eye-line match
in an eye-line match we see a character looking at something off screen and then wee cut to a shot of what they are looking at. This way the audience can see exactly what the character can see and what the director wants them to see. an example of an Eye-line match would be in Starwars when the stormtroppers are looking for princess Leia.
Match on action
in a match on action we see a character start an action in one shot and then see them continue it in the next. all this tells the audience is that when one shot ends another will pick up where the other left off making the reality of the film fluid and continuous. There is an example of this in the TV show friends.
Graphic match
in a graphic match you see 2 shots linked with similar shape or composition of an image. there are many examples of this one is in 2001 a space odyssey.
180 degree rule
the 180 degree rule is a basic guid line that states that two characters (or other elements) in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other.
