Activity 7

When comparing my preliminary task to our opening sequence i can see a definitve difference in quality. This was probably to the fact that when filming our preliminary task we did not use a tripod.

In our preliminary task we used a wide/ Long shot showing Brandons entire figure and the lcoation in the back ground

The preliminary task helped us a group develop better ideas about using camera angles, in our opening sequence of "Jess" we used a few more professional camera angles. In the shot below, we used an over head shot of  "Jess" struggling to pull up her tights. This highlights to the audience a little about "Jess"'s ditsy nature.

Another technique we used, was match on action in our opening sequence. Match on action is a continuity editing technique normally done in three stages. We used match on action to show the process of Jess opening and going out the door.

We also used an over shoulder shot in "Jess", similarly like our preliminary task.  Over the shoulder shots are used to show a characters perspective.

Being new to using media equipment as a group we were bound to break a few of the technical rules. The prominent one was the 180 degree rule.
