preliminary task

For our Preliminary task we had two jobs. One was to create a copy of a clip we watched, so using as similar shots, equipment, angles and similar editing as possible. The clip was a simple idea of a man walking down a long corridor, opening the door, walking to a desk and asking the other guy at the desk to borrow a DVD for him to watch with a small amount of dialogue.

The other task was to create our own very short clip and then direct and edit it. We had 3 hours to do it. This was just so that we had the opportunity to individually use all the equipment that we would need.

The two tasks help a lot as this gave us the chance to experience all the equipment and help us practice doing many difficult to set up shots.
