WHAT WE HAVE LEARNT FROM THE
PRELIMINARY EXERCISE
▸ From our preliminary exercise where we had to create a simple dialogue
and walking scene, we have learnt lots of different things and
incorporated them into our two minute film.
▸ We learnt about the 180-degree rule and made sure we didn't cross the
180-degree line when filming the footage.
▸ When filming dialogue scenes in our film, we made sure we used shot-
reverse-shot like we did in the preliminary exercise to show the two
characters speaking to each other.
▸ Finally, we used match on action in our film when one of the characters
was opening the door. We used the same technique as we did in our
preliminary exercise.

WHAT WE HAVE IMPROVED AT
▸ From filming the footage of our film, we have improved at filming dialogue
scenes quickly as well as doing shot-reverse-shot.
▸ We have also improved on the match on action technique such as a
character opening a door.
▸ We have also improved on finding the correct shot to convey the correct
meaning and link it to the genre of our film, such as a tracking shot to
show a character is being followed.
▸ Finally, we have improved on the editing of the shots and making the
match on action shots run smoother.

OTHER METHODS WE HAVE USED
▸We have also used different methods to convey the horror
theme throughout our film. We used low key lighting to set a
mysterious and tense atmosphere.
▸We also used different types of editing to show as sense of
tension such as jump cuts when pouring drinks.
▸One final method we used differently to the preliminary task
was that we used non-diegetic sound to create a dark
atmosphere and a sense of panic in some parts of the film.
