Match Cut Film
We had to do a preliminary 'match cut' exercise which our task was to create a piece of 'filming' which included a match cut through a door, as well as the '180 degree rule' with a subject walking across a room and sitting down opposite another charcter. The sequence must include 'dialogue'.
We had the idea of a package being delivered from an agent to a high crime lord figure. Like our previous task we had to use varied 'angles' and an array of shots to show understanding and a good use of the camera.
Whilst having our subject walking towards the 'rendez-vous' place we use 'tracking shots' to follow him as well as the 180 degree rule shooting him from the left side then match cutting to the right side as though he is walking in a different direction although he is walking in the same direction. That is the point of the 180 degree macth cut to be an inconspicuous 'continuity' of the two shots.
Our main match cut action was when our subject walks through the door as asked. we had a close up of our subjects hand opening the door from one side, then the match cut of him walking through the door on the inside.
It was untill we got inside when we were able to show our array of different shots and angles as well as dialogue. We switched from 'low angle shots' to 'high angle shots' of shooting our character once inside the room to show that he is no longer the powerful and main figure, but is now just an agent of the 'crime lord'. We had her sitting door legs crossed looking confident and sure of herself.
With the dialogue we wanted to send a secretive message across by using fairly 'coded' language like "I've always expected alot from you." We had various 'shot reverse shots' during the dialogue to show that the 'conversation' was clearly between the two subjects. 'Over the shoulder shots' were also used to show when the opposite charcter was speaking. 'Two shots' were used to show the relationship both characters had for each other in term of the agent in awe and respect of the crime lord.
The package was of a folder which the audience does not know the 'contents' to keep the 'suspense' and the 'intrigue'.

Teamwork is also a very important aspect that has been consistent throughout our period of making the film and coming up with out ideas. Each member has been crucial in every piece of production.
"As our second attempt on shooting
the inprovement we made was very
clear to see as our steadi-cam shots
were alot more still and we had a
much wider aray of shots on show
as well as character placement.
Our various match cuts also show
our growth in understanding which
is back up by our execution of the
180 degree rule. We can only look
to progress from here and carry
on to improve thus creating a very
good final product."
