Our Preliminary Task Evaluation

We think that we produced quite a good story-line to our preliminary opening sequence that was effective and fitted well with the thriller genre. Holly and Jade did very well in acting and this helped make our opening sequence more effective. The transitions that we used fitted well with our footage and helped make it look more professional overall. Also the soundtrack that we found built up the right amount of tension that we aimed for and so we were happy with that!

When putting our footage together there were a couple of times where during filming we had moved the camera by accident when re-doing shots and as a result of this there are a couple of jumps within the sequence. This is something we will consider in our final piece in order to show better continuity and make it more professional. Continuity is the main element that we need to improve on for our final piece however we could also use a wider range of shot types and be more careful when we move the camera whilst filming.

Overall we think that our preliminary task turned out quite well. We worked well together as a group and we spread out the amount of work evenly! We learnt how to build tension through the different shots. We also learnt better skills on editing as we experimented with more transitions that on our previous task.
