Preliminary Task Video

Preliminary Task

For my preliminary task I had to shot a continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down into a chair opposite another character, with whom he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue.
I used Peter and Connor as my actors. Connor walked through the door and across the room and sat down opposite Peter. I used a multi camera set-up which allowed me to film both Peter and Connor at the same time from differnt angles. The actor then both shared some dialogue between them. I used iMovie to edit the clips together and give it a title. The mise-en-scene for the shot is typical class room objects. This includes desk, chairs and text books.
