Creative Task: Match On Action

             

What I have learnt:

From the completion of this video, I have learnt the technique of match on action and put it into practice. We experienced a few issues when creating this video. Firstly, some of the shots that linked together where not seamless. For example, when Tom ties up his shoe lace he doesn't carry on walking after the action and instead stands still. In our next shot, Tom already started walking so we were missing a link in between to make it look like he had just carried on. Another problem that we had was that the volume of audio in each shot was different as they were filmed at different times in different places. Therefore, we had to put a soundtrack over the top of our video and mute the volume in the shots. However, I believe that this made the video better as it added another element to it.  

Checklist For My Opening Sequence:

• Don't reveal too much of the narrative.
• Use a catchy soundtrack to engage my audience.
• Correct institution information used.
• Make the main character the focus of the narrative.
• Film the video in landscape and not portrait as it will make it difficult to edit.
• Make the actors speak clearly and slowly to make it easy to edit and understandable.
• Stick to the 180 degree rule unless I am braking it to add effect and demonstrate confusion.
