The Task
We were given a task, called the preliminary exercise, this was given to us so that we become familiar with using the camera's for our actual media c/w. This involved shooting a 180 degree rule which involved two people having a conversation and a match on action, the exercise was supposed to last about 30 seconds. Our clip was basic, 2 people having a conversation which created suspense and made the audience think about 'what is going on', this also created enigma. We also had 1 person lying under the table and then the clip ended, this was kept short and simple as it was just an exercise task. The person lying on the floor had his eyes closed which automatically made the audience think 'what has happened'.

I think our clip was shot well considering this was the first time we used the camera's. We all had a part to play in the clip so that everyone had an equal chance of getting involved, Vinesh was good with camera-work therefore he wanted to shoot, me and Vandna were in the conversation during the start of the clip and lastly Ishan was the one lying under the table. Our media exercise was based on creating enigma which was done well, this was done when Ishan was lying under the table with his eyes closed. The 180 degree rule was used correctly as when me and Vandna were talking and it looked like we were opposite each other, thus meant we broke the 180 degree rule. Before we started filming we decided that we would use (ECU) Extreme close-up, we successfully stuck to our plan and used this shot various times, one of them was when Ishan was lying on the floor and the camera zoom's onto him. During the end of the clip we used a transaction, which was a 'fade' this was used to fade out of Ishan's face and end the clip.

EBI:
When me and Vanda were having a conversation, there was too much space between the two of us, this was due to the table being bigger, there was also images/portraits in the background which meant that audience could loose focus and concentrate more on what is in the background rather than the two people having the conversation. For our actual coursework we will take in consideration that having things in the background could loose audience focus. Secondly the lighting in the room was not good, therefore it made Vandna's side of the room look darker and made mine look much brighter. The lighting issues made the clip look un-professional
