My storyboard at first did not portray what was going to happen. After filming some shots, I decided that I had too many shots so I decided I needed to cut some shots out. I also had to re-film some of the shots because some of the shots were too bright. Due to me taking out some shots, I had to change the order of some of the shots so I had a couple attempts of writing the storyboard.

The shot reverse shot was right at the end of the preliminary. This composed of a short discussion with my brother. I filmed us having the conversation from both of our perspectives and alternated the shots of us talking. I made sure when filming I did not break the 180 degree rule. This is because if you break the 180 degree rule, then people can get confused as they wont know which direction the character is walking. To make sure I stuck to the criteria and also to make it not confusing, I made sure the camera was always within the 180 degrees. For the match on action, I looked up some examples on YouTube of match on action shots. I then decided that I was going to do a match on action shot when I was walking through the door. It took me a couple of attempts to film to get it right but it ended up being successful.

I liked how I followed all three of the compulsory acts and a range of camera shots to make my preliminary more interesting. One thing I didn't like about my preliminary was the audio. The audio quality was quite poor and the speech was quite quiet. If I was to re-do my preliminary, I would only change the audio as the audio quality wasn't great and made the preliminary seem slightly less professional. I have learned to always re-do a shot if you are unhappy with it because you are better of re-filming the shot if you are unhappy with it rather than leave it. I also learned to film a lot of shots because it s better to have too many than too little, as you can always cut out the shots you don't want.
