Preliminary Task on match-cut

In the lesson for our premliminary task we were given a assingment to create a short clip, with a little dialogue between two characters, a package being given, but mainly focusing on match-cuts. Previously we was shown a clip on some good shots of match-cuts, to get ideas from it. In our groups, we had created a shot list of 20 shots to get our idea in were the matches was going to take place. After, we started to do the practical an put our camera work skills to practice once again.

I think, when we were filming the shots was perfect, we just had to get use to the functions a little bit more. when it came to the acting and the characters dialogue, we had to re-do the shot because there was so much laughter and mistakes. i guess as well as camera work and editing, you do need some acting skills. However, overall we enjoyed our task given and i think produced a good short clip.

The difficult part was when it came to editing, to get the match right. We worked as a group and took in all the input from each member, on which cut suited. i personally think when it came to the dialogue bit, we got the match cut right and did well in making it a continuity edit.
