Evaluation Question 7) Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the product?

At the time when we filmed our preliminary we had only a few camera angles and simple shots shots we had planned to use. But compared to our thriller we required a more diverse and more complicated angles and shots, for such reasons as portraying the panic of the protagonist with a shaky first person shot. As you can see on the left there is an screenshot of our preliminary which shows a simple mid shot of one of the characters.

But as you can see in the image on the right we incorporated more complex shots into our thriller, this shot is a reflection in a mirror of the protagonist and a corridor behind him where the killer walks past. This shot required abit of planning as we needed to gain the correct angle for the shot, so as you now know we did more planning and put more thought into the shots before we did them.




Also another aspect we gained more knowledge is sound in our videos, for example in our preliminary video we wasn't really required to focus on our sound that much. But for our thriller it was a big thing we had to consider, so while filming we made sure we made the diagetic sounds very distinct so they would be heard over the opening music.The music choice was also a huge factor as we needed it to relate to the opening of the thriller so after thinking over some songs we had we found one which had lyrics which was parallel with what was going on in the opening.

So in a way we have developed a better way of thinking and planning the shots and sounds etc before jumping into filming them, this has helped us majorly with our filming as it kept us more organised with our filming and clips.
