1. Task 7
Over all in this task I felt a lot more confidant when taking shots and editing to the
final version. I felt before I started this task I had learnt a lot more in the technical
side I had gained a lot more experience as we had done two of these tasks where we
used the cameras and then had to edit on Final Cut Pro, which gave the experience.
When looking back at my Prelim task I can see that some of the techniques and
editing I have used has improved and I have also carried on using some of the same
improved techniques in my most resent task as the shots and editing used goes well
with what we did, now as I am now more experienced in getting the right shots such
as 180 degree rule, match on action and shot/reverse shot.
We played around with more
types of shots such as Floor
shots and Wall angles and High
angles and Low angles,
compared to the Prelim task of
the opening door scene where
there are simple cut behind the
shoulder shots and 180’s and
other random shots as well as
the floor shot looking up as we
though looked good.
The importance of the
continuity is very big as you
have to have everything exactly
the same such as items, props,
equipment, and hand
movements have to remain the
to create a good looking scene
and to keep the continuity
consistent. We also included
match on action.
As you can see in the first image is a screenshot of the Prelim task where we
had a to create a simple door opening scene and to start off we had a floor
scene of people walking past with a Title which was not been touched, in the
second screen shot we had the Opening Sequence with the titles and a
consistent theme, you can also see that the first screen shot is more amateur
than the second one where we have developed more sophisticated looking
titles to go with the theme and genre with is a thriller. We learned to keep it
more clean and appropriate such as to keep the Titles consistent which is to do
with continuity and being in the right place for example as they are more
commonly seen at the bottom and with the right type of font and size on the
screen it looks more like a thriller.

2. In comparison I think that the Opening Sequence we have created is much
better and more appropriate to the theme of a thriller than the Prelim that we
created a couple months ago. The Opening sequence is a lot cleaner and uses
fewer but more sophisticated effects, which does not over kill the
production/Opening Sequence. We used just the right amount of effects,
which made the Sequence’s atmosphere feel like a thriller with chilling vibes
to it, which was our aim to do so. We were also a lot more experienced in the
creative side of the Sequence and had better and advanced our skills on
camera work and effects.
