Edited the preliminary task

Our group edited the preliminary task today - it looks good; there is good continuity, and we solved the problem of making a smooth transition by using a dissolve (when in the scene where Max shapeshifts into me). We also created a successful magic trick through the use of good editing, to make a card trick seem realistic.

Overall, we are nearly finished and we have just a few things left to edit.

Just finished the preliminary task (Two Asians, one card ...and a Dale Stevenson)

After starting on what we'd initial plan of our preliminary task last week, we had decided to change the storyboard, as the story would've taken too long. We've changed the storyoard to this:



What we opted to do was get a double to walk into a room and appear to shapeshift into me, perform a magic trick, then leave after morphing back into himself. We have yet to edit it, but I think we successfully pulled off the necessary elements needed: eyeline match, match on action, and shot/reverse shot. We also stuck to the 180 degree rule. 

Just waiting to edit now...
