the preliminary task

The preliminary task was really useful, I learned how to use a camera and tripod as well as how to upload footage onto the Macs. We also were able to learn some basic editing skills using Final Cut X. One aspect that I found a little harder than I expected was the camera and the tripod, learning to get the right shots took a lot longer than I expected. I can now see that what looks easy and simple on the screen is actually a great deal of work.



I will soon post the video on here 












Our preliminary video task was made up 11 shots which included :

1. There is a long shot of someone walking down a corridor
2. Then there is cut to a close up of a hand opening the door
3. Next is a cut of a medium long shot of them walking into a room
4. The next cut is very fast and it is a medium shot of another person sitting at a desk
5. The following shot is a long shot of the two people in the room
6. Then there is an over shoulder shot of the person sitting at the desk and a medium cose up shot of the person who just entred the room and the have a bit of dialogue.
7. There is another cut of over shoulder shot to the other person who is speaking
8. It then cuts back again to the first over the shoulder shot to the person sitting at the desk
9. Its cuts back agin to the person who entred the room
10. Then there is another cut back to the original shot
11. The last cut was back to the person who entred the room and then the scene ended with the person walking out  and then blackout.
