2. Titles
In our preliminary task our title sequence was very basic and very bland which
did not really stand out to the audience. This is a complete contrast as in our
final product Dead Lazy our title sequence is much more exciting, colorful,
attractive which stands out to the audience and instantly they can remember
what the title of our product is. Also we have moved the title sequence into the
middle of the opening sequence instead of right at the start like our preliminary
task allowing the time for the credits to be shown.
3. Establishing Shot
In the preliminary task we used the establish shot to try and fill the scene so
that the audience can see what is going on and gain a feel of the genre of the
product. In our final product we have developed the establishing shot to show
in the scene the two characters are talking while also having other pieces in
the show such as the beer can and the controller.
4. Lighting
In the preliminary task the lighting shots were varied as in the shots above
you can tell the lighting is different in the two shots making the film less
believable. Where as in the final product Dead Lazy it is much more authentic
and more engaging for the audience.
5. Effects on Screen
In the preliminary task we used a grey effect to show a flashback,
this flashback was very effective and we felt that these effects could
be useful in Dead Lazy. We have incorporated the effects from our
prelim and added a dark effect to show the time of day while also
portraying the genre.
6. Tracking Shots
In our preliminary task we used an effective tracking shot which worked
well. We then decided to incorporate a tracking shot in the very opening of
Dead Lazy. By using the tracking shot it links into the match on action which
is useful for our product.
7. Transitions
In the prelim task we used a transition effect to portray the moment in
which the flashback is introduced which worked well. In Dead Lazy there
was no need for the same type of transition so we used a fade out
transition to make the shot link in with the horror genre.
8. Character Introductions
In both products we wanted to show the audience who the
characters were by showing a close up of there name. In the
prelim we did not do this as the shot is unprofessional as it
instantly just show’s the characters. We made changes in
Dead Lazy as we used a close up to show the characters
name and making the audience wonder what he looks like.
9. 180 Rule/Shot Reverse Shot
In our preliminary task we effectively used the 180 degree rule and the shot reverse
shot method. The task now was to put In Dead Lazy and we have managed to put in
the rule and the method in these shots which clearly show that it is using the shot
reverse shot method and sticking to the 180 degree rule.
