The document provides feedback on mistakes made and things improved upon from a preliminary film task to an opening sequence. For the preliminary task, there was background noise that lowered quality, actors lacked direction and confidence, and shots were improperly framed. The context was unclear. For the opening sequence, sound was properly removed and added, actors were better prepared, shots were carefully planned, context was clarified, and varied transitions improved the flow.

1. In this the establishing shot of my preliminary task there is lots of
background nose that is not overly noticeable although it lowers the
quality of the film as it suggests that there has been no editing to the
footage. The sound of some type of machine can be herd mixed in
with the muffled sound of the door opening. this is where i should
have added in sound affects and removed the sound that the camera
picked up completely.

2. The actors that I used for my preliminary task were not very confident
in what they had to say or do. This is shown it this shot where the actor
is laughing. I realised this was because they had no stage directions
and no script to follow

3. For my preliminary I made manny silly filming mistakes. this was very much
dew to the lack of experience. This shot here shows how I cut off the top of
my actors head and did not place her in the centre of the shot adding to the
fact this is meant to be and over the shoulder shot and I have missed filming
the actual shoulder.

4. The context of the the film is that they are two friends talking about there
weekend. this would suggest that they are in school in on Monday
morning, this means there would be other school kids around and also
defiantly be a background nose of kids. The point that the rest of the
room is completely empty and there is no background nose makes the
film seem very amateur and unbelievable.

5. Within these two shots i show the only transition that i was capable of
doing where actually its just a cut transition tis i used all the way throughout
my pulmonary task. It works well for the opening of the door scene
however if the film was to be longer E.G 2 mins then this would become a
very boring peace of film.

6. In this (the establishing) shot of my opening sequence it really completes it purpose
unlike in my preliminary task which started with a door opening. I also changed
how i filmed and entered sound on to the footage. after filming i completely
removed the sound to get rid of the wind sound hitting the microphone on the
camera and then implanted the sounds that in this case was music on to iMovies
separately. this is something that i improved upon from my preliminary task.
Examples of doing different things better and more affectively in my opening sequence.

7. When filming my opening sequence i ensured that the actor that was
going to be selected had a satisfactory-good acting skill to ensure that they
would be able to do what was required of them. after the actor was
selected they had a strict and clear set of stage directions so that they
were a-where of what they needed to do. we then also decided to film at
each shot up-lest three times to make up certain that there would be at
least one perfect shot to be used.

8. As of some shots in the preliminary task went wrong i insured that each and
every shot was planned and shot as close to the plan as possible. Therefor
eliminating any shot that had an accident or problem in it. We planned all the
shots by using a story board and a shot list.

9. learning from my preliminary task that context is very important we decided to
put a close up shot of the tablets that the boy in our film has overdosed on.
This is because the audience may want to clarify why the boy is laying on the
flour. Although we would hope that they had already have worked it out it is
always best to be extremely clear.

10. Within the opening sequence I insured
that I used different transitions other than
straight cuts to create the feel of the
opening. I used transitions called cross
blear and to black to make the shots move
in to each other slowly and almost get a
sort of blinking affect that links to our
story. I found that this was very important
from my preliminary task as it did not flow
together very well.
