Evaluation Q7 : Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression of it to the full product?

Since producing my preliminary task, I believe my film making ability has increased tremendously as there has been much I have learnt since then to making my opening sequence. The final product is much more technically advanced then the preliminary task, as it was very simple and used very basic camera angles, however in the opening sequence many more complicated angles are used for a variety of effect.



The Preliminary task was very simple, it had not really any dialog and used standard non diagetic sound such as music and basic camera angles such as medium shots and close ups. It lasted for about maybe a minute and didn't much fit into any genre of film. However there opening sequence was much more refined. It was easy to notice the genre and lasted over about twice as long. I used very fitting camera angle which were very technical.



One of the basic camera angle types we used was close ups in our prelim task. We also used a close up, but we used one in a a much more technical way, as it was a close up on the hand of someone on the ground while having someone in the background walking toward the person, out of focus. This worked much better than the prelim shot as this shot fits well with the horror genre, as similar sort of shots are used in slashers such as Friday 13th. Also in our film we used numerous high angle shots, looking up at the subject murderer
