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

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

In our preliminary task we struggled with the editing and there are some messy cuts. In the first 2 shots it shows both of the characters but I think it was better when we filmed our horror film because we had had practice and knew what to do better. In our horror film we used more shot types such as a high angle and tracking shots. We used neither of these in our preliminary task which meant that it wasn't as interesting as if there had been other shots.
We didn't use any type of editing in our preliminary task except cutting but in our horror film we used several different editing techniques. For example we used Colour offset which is like ghosting but with colour and it also comes out better on your film when you have exported it. We tested the colour offset to make sure that it wouldn't be too much when we exported it and we did this by just exporting a clip before we exported the whole film. We also used our own made up techniques. There are parts in our film where the screen is red. We managed to do this by holding a piece of red asitate in front of the camera lense. This helped our film have more personality than our preliminary task did. We put much more thought into our horror film because we had longer to film it in which meant that we had more chance to think about how we can change our film to make it better and think about what camera shots would be best to use.
We did use subtle shots using the 180 degree rule in our horror film. They aren't obvious to the audience but we wanted to keep a sense of mystery. I think that it has worked quite well within our horror film.
