Evaluation task 7

When we first started AS media I did not know much about camera composition and I did not know many shot types available to us, I would have never know what the 180 degree rule was. Learning these new skills made me understand and appreciate how hard it is to make a film and how you can make a film more interesting by changing one shot. in our preliminary task we showed shot reverse shot when we switched between the two characters, this makes the audience see the character and know who he is talking to but it can also create suspense.Doing this in the preliminary task made us realize that this shot can be used in our real film when we flick between our antagonist and protagonist this shot would have been useless without practice and knowledge of the shot. Match on action was a very interesting and fun shot to use as it gives you an extreme close up on a characters prop or body part. During the film we used this when we wanted to see the villain load his gun. Doing this made the audience feel tension and we believed that it would fit in with the scene we know that from our preliminary task the whole shot had to flow smoothly and the editing had to make sure that the scene before and after had to fit in with this shot. The close up had to fit the whole shot in without getting anything unnecessary in the scene otherwise the audience does not see what you want them to see.  We learnt alot about camerawork and different shot types which allowed us to vary the scenes in our film making it look unique. We wanted to use as many shots as possible and make sure that all the scenes fit in with the start of our film to make sure the audience were able to enjoy the film as much as possible this was done well due to the shots and camera work being taught to us at the start of the year. I believe I have learnt a lot from the beginning
