The Prelim - Ugliest Jumper Ever

The Preliminary Exercise

This is our preliminary exercise, which we called Ugliest Jumper Ever. The aim was to create a sequence demonstrating good continuity techniques, and had to show match on action, shot/reverse-shot, and the 180-degree rule. The brief stated that it had to be 30 seconds long, and comprise of a character opening a door, crossing a room, and sitting down in a chair opposite another character with whom s/he exchanges a few lines of dialogue.

Preliminary Exercise Evaluation 1

1) Who did you work with and how did you manage the task between you?
I worked with Amelia, Loren, and Shaun for this task, and we decided between us to each do a different part of the planning, as we had already discussed it but only had an hour to do it, and this meant it could be done quickly and with everyone contributing. In the production stage, Shaun and I did most of the camerawork, because Amelia and Loren were acting in it, apart from a shot at the end of me. Again, we only had an hour to shoot, so we thought that this would be the most time-efficient method of getting our footage, and role-swapping would have been almost impossible as Loren and Amelia were both in nearly all the shots. When we had our rushes, we had quite a lot to edit with a great deal of takes for a few of the shots. We all edited for 15 minutes each, and helped each other out, making decisions as a group and offering advice when needed, which turned out to be an effective method, as we got it all finished. I feel we worked well together as a group, with everyone doing their bit and listening to each other without any arguments arising, and a general nice group dynamic.
