Evaluation Task 7

 

 

 

This is our preliminary task. The dialogue was given to us in advance so we needed to follow that script. 

I think that camera work in our FIRST! experience of using it in group is quite good. We have used tracking shot of Anri walking in the room then we used 180 degree rule over shoulder shots and some close ups. Of course when we were filming our thriller we were more advanced and prepared so we knew what and how we are going to film. In  our thriller we were brave enough to shoot in interesting angles because we were more aware of how to use camera. Also to film this we were very short in time and to film our thriller we had whole day so obviously we had chance to try stuff that's why thriller camera work was more effective than prelim task.

Mise-en-scene in our preliminary task is not really important because our main task was to use camera and 180 degree rule and we had to use what was in the editing suit. We had headphones, furniture that was in the room  and keyboard we used them to create simple story line. In the thriller we were thinking about our props, set and costumes in advance to make sure that we are sending the right massage to the audience. Therefore we were more prepared and serious about M-E-S. We were very lucky to have snowy day on the location we have chosen. The military modern costumes were in costume department in the school and we knew about it in advance so we didn't have to buy it or search for it. Guns were also property of our school so we had what we needed the only thing we had to do is to tell it to them before filming and everything wil. be fine.

Editing on our preliminary task was effective for the first time. We've putted actions in the right time and story line made seance so I think we did very well. Of course when we were editing our thriller we did better in case of effects and number of shots we've filmed helped us to choose the best. We added special effects of blood and sniper scope and for that we used special programme. We learned arrange of different editing techniques and we were able to use them in editing process.  We learnt to edit for perspective and create meaning for a character, we learnt how to cross - cut which helped the audience understand what the narrative is for our thriller. We also had shot reverse shot so we could see how different characters were perceived in different shots and finally we had couple of different sequences that we watched through and decided witch one is the best.  

 

When we were working on sound on our prelim task we didn't spend much time on editing it. We just used sounds which were with pieces of video we've putted together when in thriller we had to listen sounds from different channels to pic the best one also we had to add so extra sound effects and we haven't done it in the prelim task. We added soundtrack and other SFX to make it look more professional and interesting to watch.
