This is our Prelim Task:




Our prelim task helped us alot with our main task in the end and was really helpful to us. The preliminary task gave us an understanding of continuity, which is a fundamental principle of film and tv production. We leaned as long as continuity rules are followed our narrative can unfold in such a way that we can assume what happens between each shot or sequence

Match on action:
We learned this is a cut from one shot to another view that matches the action and pace of the first shot. This creates an impression of continuity, such as Mair closing the door in our video.

Shot/reverse shot:
This is a film technique where one character is shown looking (often off-screen) at another character, and then the other character is shown looking "back" at the first character. This is shown here in the dialogue between Mair and Robyn and we used it in our final product during the Warehouse scene.

The 180° rule:
We learned that is a basic film editing guideline that states that two characters in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. As you can see we have tried to keep to this wherever possible in the prelim task and also in the main task.
