Evaluation Question 7 - Preliminary Task Skills
  1. Research and Planning
    1. Locations
      1. For my preliminary i used the college classroom as my location, but in my final product i did location research - into conventional horror/thriller sets and therefore made my product conform to this by setting it in a remote woodland.
        1. Preliminary Location
          1. Film Opening Location
        2. Actors
          1. I considered my actors more carefully when planning my final product as opposed to my prelim task. In my prelim i did not consider my actors and simply chose who was available. However for my film opening i chose my actors based on my audience research and on horror and thriller conventions.
          2. Film Planning
            1. I was able to manage my time much more effectively when creating my product compared to my prelim, this allowed me to organize my actors so that they would be available the days i decided to film. Therefore overall i believe that my time management skills have improved greatly when producing my film opening.
          3. Construction
            1. Holding a steady shot
              1. I also used a tripod for the majority of my shots in my final product, whereas in my prelim i only used it for a few of my shots. Therefore by using a tripod in my real product the footage i collected was of a much higher quality and looked much more professional.
              2. Lighting
                1. When creating my final product i considered heavily my lighting, as i found in my research that typically horror/thriller films had quite low level lighting. I didn't do this however in my preliminary task, which made it look unprofessional.
                2. Filming
                  1. I filmed using a more high quality camera, meaning it was easier to hold a steady shot and the footage was of a high quality.
                    1. In my prelim i only filmed on take of each shot that i had planned, however when creating my final product i ensured that i had a range of takes of each shot to choose from for the editing process. I also filmed various different angles of each shot to get a larger range of footage.
                      1. Over the shoulder shots in both my prelim and final product.
                      2. In my prelim video my actors improvised the dialogue. However when planning my final product i planned to have no dialogue as i felt this would be more effective for the horror/thriller genre.
                      3. Time Management
                        1. I also believe that i managed my time much more effectively when filming my final product compared to my prelim, as i had more time to prepare and plan my shots, to ensure that i made the most effective use of my time on my planned shoot days.
                      4. Editing
                        1. Intertitles
                          1. From my prelim to my final product i have learnt how to add text onto a video in final cut, as well as adding effects/transitions to these titles. I believe that this overall gave me a very professional looking film opening.
                          2. Sound
                            1. I did not consider my sound choices when editing and filming my preliminary task. However upon constructing my final product i considered my music choices carefully. I added sound effects such as a door slamming and created a soundtrack to go with my sequence.
                              1. In doing this i learnt how to use garageband effectively and how to use the tools for editing sound within Final Cut.
                            2. Final Cut
                              1. When constructing my final product on Final Cut i was much more familiar with the software and able to use its various features more effectively compared to my preliminary video.
                                1. My match-on-action was much more precise and accurate compared to my prelim in which some shots did not flow from one another.
