1/11/10 Prelim Task

-  Our prelim task was to create a scene that involved two people, which one would walk through a door to meet the other person. The scene would then end with a character leaving. 

- The two rules we had to demonstrate were the 180 degree rule and the match of action rule. The 180 degree rule is when the camera cannot move anywhere out of the half circle around the action, as this prevents confusion within the audience. The match of action rule is when you can cut in the middle of scene but you have to make sure it follows on and looks like one big scene. 

- A summary of my initial scene was to have a boy and a girl in a park. The boy is planning to ask the girl to marry him but the girl thinks he is about to brake up with her, so she brakes up with him first.
