In order to demonstrate a basic level of skill and knowledge we had to do a preliminary exercise, before we could start preparing for our contemporary noir opening. Our brief was to film a short task, and edit it. It had to consist of a character walking to a door, opening it, walking across a room, sitting down and having a short conversation with another character who was already in the room. The task had to demonstrate use of the 180 degree line rule, match on action and shot/reverse shot.
Before we could begin filming, we had to do some preparation. We had to create a group storyboard using no more than eight shots. We had to script the dialogue that our characters would say, and keep it simple so that actors would not having trouble learning it. Once this was done we went to film our exercise. We then used the Macs and Final Cut Pro to edit all the shots together.
