Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have

learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Our preliminary tasks helped us massively in the continuity development of our opening title

sequence. It helped us grasp the concept of continuity editing and learn new techniques that are integrated into films and television programs in the media industry, which help increase the

realistic feel. Also, while creating our preliminary task it helped us both improve the quality of our

editing and show us how to properly script for our opener, as it was when we first were introduced to Celtx, it taught us the format and structure of

scripts and how to create them.

180 Degree ruleThe 180 degree rule is an invisible line between two

characters when filming, the idea of it is to stop switching the characters position in terms of what side of the screen they are on so that it minimises viewers

confusion

Match in actionMatch in action is another editing technique that we learnt, it is used when jumping between shots, its used when a character

is about to do something, usually starts doing it, then it will go to a different shot and he will continue the action, for example, an actor opening a door; There could be one wide shot where the character begins to open the door, then jump to a close up of the character continuing doing so. So it is effectively matching

an action in multiple shots.
