Skills audit: filming and editing preliminary match cut exercise


For our second filming practice we filmed a match-cut exercise. The film started myself and Julie. To film this scene, we wanted to add more camera shots other then the required shots: the match cut, 180 degree rule and dialogue. So when we come to filming we used a over the shoulder shot where the camera focuses on Julie and the tilt both high and low during the dialogue. I'm shown to be the one with the power in this clip so the high tilt gives the idea of authority and power to me and also a little effect of menace to show that i shouldn't be double crossed or messed with. We also used low tilt for Julie, showing that she is the vulnerable and weak one in this situation. We also added a variety of different shots such as long shots, wide shots and medium close ups. The 180 degree rule was used on the focus of me to show the conversation between me a Julie. Our match cut was right at the start of the clip where Julie opens the door and enters the room.
