Preliminary Task
As a preliminary task in preparation for our actually horror movie opening sequence, the exam bord asked us to create a short moving image that included walking into a room and having a conversation using just 4 sentences of speech.
We did this to help us with our media skills. These skills being different shots to keep the video/moving image fluent to maintain the continuity.

We learnt that we had to use the 180 degree rule when filming, flipping from shot to shot of dialogue. This is because if you go over the 180 degree line then the person will still be on the same side of the screen and looks less effective and not as interesting. The 180 degree rule is mostly used when conversation is being held, this is shown in our video.
Doing the preliminary task also helped us get used to seeing which shots looked right together and whether they flowed well. It also helped us get used to the equipment as this is what we were going to be using when filming our final product.
