The camera shots required for the Preliminary Task will need to fit the brief and be able to track the movements of the characters in a clear and coherent way, so that the action is able to be followed easily by viewers of our piece.
Some examples of the types of the camera shots that we may use in our piece consist of a wide shot to show the character’s travel of movement in a scene, as during the piece we will be having to follow the guidelines of the 180 degree rule, we will also be using a shot reverse shot to switch between two character’s facial expressions during a conversation.

Equally, this video also showcases the perils of getting this basic rule wrong and the disastrous effects it can have on the viewers interpretation of a piece of film.
We will also be requiring the use of the match on action shot to show close detail in a shot for our preliminary task as this shot allows the audience to gain further depth and detail into what a character is doing as it maximises the level of detail shown to the viewer.
A wide camera shot is most commonly used to show to the viewer a broad or general area where action is taking place in a shot. This shot may be effective in our preliminary task as it shows a vast area including not only the characters but also their surroundings which may be influenced by the context of the situation that the characters find themselves in.
