Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel that you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
Well start with the 'Preliminary Task' then:
And now for our 'Final Cut':
From our very first evaluation on our preliminary task I had found out that we had the 180 degree rule. It's as the first lad sits down he's on the right and then when it turns onto the other he's then on the left, and when you have two characters speaking in a film and the camera flips between them then they should always be on the same side no matter where the camera is pointing. With the final cut however we didn't have two characters speaking so we didn't have to show that.
However there we're a lot of other techniques we used in the final cut that we never even thought off in the preliminary, but with this there we're a lot of similarities between them, for obvious reason using the equipment was exactly the same so we already had a heads up on using that.
So progression wise I feel as if we had used a load more filming techniques and really pushed what we could do, but unfortunately because the real task was to create a Thriller opening and challenge the generic conventions of Thriller, I think the idea got a little to carried away and by the end of it just seemed a bit to daft for how long we had to film it, so if we had an easier story line then it would of been a lot easier to film to but it's to late now to make any changes.
