Preliminary task

The video below is my groups first try at doing match on actions which was our preliminary task. The preliminary task consisted of having to be a character walking through a door and sitting opposite another character. The video is from Brooks vimeo account who is in my group. The reason why it is from his vimeo account is because he was the one that uploaded the video on vimeo even though we did all work together doing our first match on actions.

What I have learnt by doing match on actions for the first time is that it has to be very accurate and you have to concentrate so you dont get confused on what match on action your doing and at what point. If you do get confused you have to start again because it wont work and it wont be a smooth sequence to keep the audience intrigued in your film and they will loose interest in the film. I have also learnt from doing match on actions for the first time is making sure you dont break the 180 degree rule this is because of the audience getting confused because the character will be in a different place of the setting from when you have started which will make the audience confused and unsettled.
