Preliminary Task Analysis

Analyzing our preliminary task video, I think we completed it very successfully and included all of the aspects that we were briefed to.



Match on Action - We successfully included match on action in the video. It was clearly shown when the character A first ran into the room and also later on when character B exited the room. Also match on action was demonstrated when character B was walking out of the room at the end of the video. There was various other examples of match on action in the video which were carried out successfully and professionally.

180 degree rule - For the duration of the video we made sure we followed the 180 degree rule and that there were no instance where character positioning would seem to change. The characters always maintained the same right/left relationship.

In the video we saw a character walks towards and through a door to get inside a room where a different character was situated. The characters also exchanged dialogue and later on in the sequence a character does also exit the room. This was all stated in the brief and we have successfully followed this guideline.


In conclusion overall in the video we fully followed and understood the brief and made sure it was clear in the video. This preliminary task shows that we can successfully include these elements in a video when needed.
