Preliminary Task.
The first task we were set was the Prelim task. For this we had to get into the same groups for our final exam and do a brief bit of filming showing the examiner how we can use the camera properly. For ours we acted out a parents evening. In this we included the three basic rules:

1. 180 degree rule - A cut which splices together shots (two) making it seem to continue uninterrupted. 

2. Shot reverse shot - Two or more shots edited together that alternate characters typically in a conversation situation. It is vital that the eye line must match.

3. Match on action - Two characters in the same scene must always have the same left/right relationship to each other. They should never cross the line.

If we were to do this task again I think the three things we could improve are:

1. More shot reverse shot

2. Edits that flow into each other a bit more

3. Faster shots

Overall i felt the three of us worked well to make our prelim task successful. I felt the majority of the camera shots worked well in particular the over the head shots and the and shot reverse shots. I felt we understood what was expected from the preliminary task and worked well as a group to do this.
