From watching our preliminary task back, we can see that the start when Megan walks through the door isn't quite right because the continuity is a bit out. Also, the cross dissolve transition that we used to show time change wasn't as clear as we had hoped it would be. However, we found that the cutting from character to character during a conversation worked out OK despite issues we had with that in our editing process (we struggled to make the conversation flow). The Preliminary Task has taught us how to use the camera as we have not used that particular kind before, also, it was an opportunity to practice our camera shots so that when it comes to filming our Thriller we will hopefully be a bit better at shooting particular shots. Overall, our pre-task has drawn attention to continuity and how important it is to keep it flowing.
Well done for getting your preliminary task posted on your blog. Now add some written analysis of its strengths and areas for improvement. What has doing this task taught you? What will you do differently when planning and filming your thriller opening?
