Preliminary Task Analysis

This shot above  is a mise en scene and was our establishing shot of our prelimiary task. We chose this as our establishing and mise en scene because it is establishing that the person is coming from outside to the inside of a building to speak to someone in the next shot. The camera movement from this momemnt in filming moves as the person walks towards the door so pans from the begining to the end. The camera is in the distance and we therefore chose to film from the inside of the building to represent how the character will be walking towards the camera and then into the building, also while not showing her identity. There was no sound involved with this shot as this was not needed. The editing which was used when editing this specific shot was cutting it short at the end and then so that it dissolves and cuts straight into the next shot. The effect on this shot and the choices which we made were with the camera movement so that the audience follows the character just like the camera does. Another effect we chose to make is to not show the idetnity of the character, therefore the effect on the audence is that they are not aware what character this is from the begining of the video.

This is a Mid-shot of the character. This shot was chosen as it enables the audience to see the location of where the task was filmed and also the character as they enter the building/location where its being filmed. In post-production our group storyboarded this shot to enable us to film this shot as effectively as possible. In the shot we wanted it to look like the character is still anonymous and that their idetntity is still covered. There is still no sound invloved in this shot or sound effects as we felt that this was not such a neccesity. However in order to improve when filming i think our group would agree to either include some form ofsound and sound effects in this case maybe office sounds to create further effect on the audience when watching the video.When editing this shot we had to cut the ending of it so that when it is transitioned into the next shot it looked effective for the audience.The editing which was used is called straight cut as it was a natural movement from the first shot to the next shot.

The next shot is a point of view shot( also know as P.O.V in short terms). The shot was chosen as it represents the image of the door handle from the characters persepcitve looking down on the handle.This draws the perception of the character to the audience viewing the video. We thought this was an effective shot to do when changing camera shots. The editing involved in this shot was cutting from the previous scene to speicifically the door handle. This was done with a straight cut to make a natural movement between the previous shot of the characters movement to the door handle.

The next shot above is an over the shoulder shot from the character which was walking towards the building. This shot was chosen in order to create a representation of how the character is watching the other character, however we are viewing one of the characters from a point of view from one of the characters about the other character.The camera remains firmly still on the characters face as she is talking to the other person. The editing which was used in this shot is a quick transition with a straight cut into the next shot. We chose this as it was fairly effective moving on from the door handle shot to represent that the person behind the door is indeed another person who is going to be having a conversation with that character.

The next shot  above is transitioned into an extreme close up of the person. This shot was chosen as a extreme close up so that the audieneces attention is drawn upon the charachters hand which is showing a bluetooth headset. The sound in this shot is a voice over/dialouge which was produced in post production and was then edited into the camera shot. This was effective for the audience  as they heard another persons voice who was clearly not in the room at the time of filming which therefore created the clear representation that the person was talking to someone in a bluetooth headset.

The following shot above is a P.O.V shot and is panned around the door and into the door frame to look inside the office room to then show the un-identified person waiting inside the office. The editing used in this shot was to cut and place the scene well when being transitioned into the next cut.

The next shot is a two-shot. It has two characters within the camera frame.This shot is effective as by representing two characters in one shot, the audience is then able to understand what is going on in this shot. The editing which was used in this shot is a straight cut into the next shot so that it was natural and that the audience were aware of this.

 The next shot above is panned around the two characters, still not idetnfiying one of the characters but showing the others identity. The shot while panning around the two characters is veyr much out of focus but the comes into focus on one of the characters face.

The shot above is a extreme close up of the mobile device. This shot was chosen by our group so that the time was very clear on the device and so the audience could see the time well. We then edited this shot from the device with a straight cut to the next shot which is a close up of someones face. It was effective because the shot of the mobile device was a main shot which was used and other shots such as the ECP on the next shot then reversed back to another shot of the same device, with the time passed.

The shot above is a ECP of a character in our preliminary task. The ECP was chosen by us as a group so that the audience can see the persons facial expression clearly and hear what they are responding with. We therefore thought this was very effective and thats why we decided upon this shot when filming.We edited this shot with the previous shot and the next shot to show an effect as it returns back to the mobile device and then switches back to her facial expression.

This shot above is a ECP of the mobile device again. This shot was chosen by our group as it coincided the other shots previously used. This shot was also a ending shot and we thought this was a very good way to end as it went all the way down to o seconds and then we stopped the filming and cut it. It must have been very effective for the audience.
