2. During my preliminary task I made quite a few
mistakes, for example no sticking to the 180
degree rule and having to re-film a bit of it.
Although, I learnt a lot from the preliminary
task such as camera angels and when and
how to use them, I also learnt the basics of
editing like cutting and grouping. Furthermore,
it gave me an insight into working as a group
and cooperating with other people, because
of this, I had teamwork skills which benefited
me and my group.

3. After the preliminary task I researched
adobe premiere, the software we used for
the Thriller. I learnt a lot about sound and
colour editing techniques and was able to
apply them to my thriller where needed

4. The 180 degree rule and shot reverse shot
were not needed for my thriller as there
were no conversations or interactions
between two people, therefore we did not
use them. However, we did use match on
action during the end scene when the girl
walks into the garage and sees the other
girls on the floor.

5. The story board was helpful to set out what we
were going to film and to make sure that
everyone in the group had the same mind set for
shooting. However, when it came to actually
filming, we felt we did not need a storyboard as
we discussed what we needed to do during
filming. In the same way, the schedules were
helpful for us to inform our actors about times, but
we found it hard to stick exactly to the schedule
and ended up in filming on another day.
Therefore, we should have tried harder to stick to
the schedules that we discussed

6. During filming we came across a few difficulties
with certain shots. Therefore, we had to make
decisions on how we would acclimatise to what
was needed. This happened with our first shot and
it is how we came across using the 360 degree
shot in the way that we did. When it came to the
last scene, we wanted to shock and excite the
audience. By doing so, the audience would be
more on edge and want to keep watching.
Because of this decision, we positioned in all
areas of the garage to portray the severity of the
situation.

7. During the day of filming, we did not stick
to our schedule and because of this we
had to film over 2 days, unlike our plan
suggested. This meant that we required our
actors to return the second day and this
took up a lot of their valuable time. We will
strive to prevent this happening again, and
organise our time in a more realistic way.

8. Our actors were extremely cooperative and
easy to manage so out shots went very
smoothly. We shot from all angels because we
wanted to experiment and see which would
look more appealing and effective. Luckily,
our location was at a house, so organisation
was easy and consent was not needed. The
forest scenes were a bit harder because
actors and equipment were needed at
different locations. Despite this, organisation
and time was done efficiently and well.
