preliminary task
By shooting our preliminary task we showed that we had a good understanding of key media skills such as;
Continuity: to make sure that the shots flow nicely together and that there are no sudden jumps from one scene to the next. however we have learned that out continuity was not up to the standards we want, from seeing this we will learn from our mistakes and make sure that we fix up on continuity making sure it is at the standards we want when it comes to our horror sequence.
Reverse Shot: When to people are having a conversation and the camera is place behind them almost over their shoulder and it must always be placed on the same shoulder for a good affect of continuity. These shots will reverse a good few times during the conversation from one persons shoulder to the other.
Match on Action: this is when an action that begins in one shot is continued or completed in to the next scene. In our preliminary task the match on action when the door is opened and the action is carried on in to the next shot.

180 Rule: The 180 degree rule of shooting and editing keeps the camera on one side of the action. As a matter of conversation, the camera stays on one side of the axis of action throughout a scene. This keeps the characters grounded compositionally on a particular side of the screen or frame. This also keeps them looking at one another when only one character is seen onscreen at a time. When shooting this the actors must not cross over the axis of action; it will give the impression that the actors' positions in the scene have been reversed.
