Preliminary task

Our preliminary task for our AS Media is to too film a person walking down a corridor, into a room and exchange a few lines of dialog with someone else.


Our idea is based around a drug deal, however we plan on doing it with an element of comedy.
I will be doing all the filming in our group. Lewis Martin will be our main actor and will be playing the role of our buyer. Zak Northedge will be our other actor and will be running the role of our dealer.


The editing will then be shared between Lewis and Linden, however it will mostly be done by Linden as he has experience in this industry. However he is planning on teaching us all whilst he is doing it so we know for our actually task. This is as we feel that acting is not as important on our media course as the filming and editing so we all want to be able to do a relevant activity.


During the filming I will have to demonstrate an understanding of: Shot reverse shot, match on action and 180-Degree rule. Shot reverse shot is showing a conversation with editing so that the viewer can see the reaction of both people. Match on action is showing a persons movement using cuts from different angles to show a continuous movement. The 180-degree rule is a fundamental rule in filming. The camera cannot pass an invisible axis on 180'. Otherwise perspectives change and continuity errors are likely to appear.

Hello and Welcome to my blog,


This is my blog for my AS level in Media. I choose to take media at AS level as i have a large interest in film and the film making process. I have no experience in Media or the film making business but it is full of skills i wish to learn about and hopefully possess by the end of this course. Editing is one of the main talent i am eager to learn during my time on this course. I have always had a strong interest in  editing as it is a talent that i do not understand and have a strong respect for those that do it at the top top level of the field.
