In order to familiarise ourselves with the camera equipment and learn about the rules of filming, we drafted a storyboard and filmed a 1 minute video.
Inside this video, we had two main focuses. As well as filming to the best of our standard, we were to concentrate on maintaining the 180 degree rule; that the camera had to kept on one side of 'the line' in order for the shot to make sense.
On top of this we had to include on our video what is called a 'match on action' which involves connecting two different views of the same action at the same moment in the movement. In our video, we chose the opening of a door.
I found that our continuity piece went successfully, that we didn't break the 180 degree rule and that our match on action worked well. At first i found that when playing back our shots were not following on from one another, but this was merely a case of pressing "pause" in between filming rather than "stop".
Our finished video can be found here:
