3.1 What we learnt by doing the preliminary exercise

Me and my group completed a special task for are media course work called the continuity task. The continuity task had to include a character opening a door, crossin a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he the exchange a couple of lines of dialouge. The task also had to demonstrate the following three things, match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule. The task could not be awarded any marks but 15 marks could be lost if not included in the course work. Me and my groups filming was about two students who happen to be undercover superheros who by day are boring and by night are under cover superheros. the two other members of my group did the acting while i did the filming.
During the course of the filming i learnt a lot of new things, it also introduced me to finale cut pro as i was not aware of the software before the task. During the filming of the task my group focused on the 180-degree rulse as this shot if not done correctly could change the view of the shot from the audiences point of view, i also learned how you could capture different types of shots by just using zoom on the camera, this technique also taught me the value of a good shot from differenct angles gives you a varity of choice when editing.
Even though editing and finale cut pro were just introduced to me i think with a little bit of practice it should get more comfortable with using the software.
