Match on action video



This was the first match on action project my class did, in the video we had to include someone standing up from sitting down, a book being read, a page being turned, someone walking up stairs and we also had to film something of our choice using match on action. For the 'turing the page of a book' and 'walking up the stairs', we decided to film more than asked and make short story lines. We used match on action when the girl threw the bag on the floor, and also filmed from different angles of her reading the book, the continuity when she does turn the page is slightly off, which is something we will wok on. Then, the girl standing up was the simplest to film as it didn't need much thought and only took two shots. The third part of the video is the boy walking along the bar, this is the 'match on action' we choose to film ourselves, i think the different angles worked really well and the lighting is really good in this part. However, this was the most difficult to put together as it was hard to get the continuity accurate with his feet moving. Finally, the last section had the longest story line and we used lots of different angles to make it more interesting. Although the lighting was really bad in this shot i think the task to film 'match on action' was a success, and  i feel for the first time filming we did really well. The errors we made will be useful for us and be taken into consideration when filming our next project.
