While doing the preliminary we were just practising our filming techniques to improve the quality of our final piece and help us be more confident with holding and showing with the camera which i feel helped a lot. As we only filmed in school our preliminary task was very limited so therefore we had to create a story that would fit in with the schools surroundings and while we did our final piece we could almost film it anywhere so therefore the ideas were endless.
When doing the preliminary task my group and i used a variety of different shots such as a match on action and 180 degree rule. Unfortunately we did not use a try pod to held steady the camera so therefore some of the shots we used were bit shaky. This meant that some of the shots are slightly blurry which took away from what was going on in the scene.
We used a lot of foley effects to try and make it sound as real as possible but it ended out sounding out of place and wrong. For example the door did not make the sound that you would have expect from a new door such as this one.
While the two characters were speaking we edited a shot reverse shot to make it seem as it the conversation was fluent dialogue.
As our preliminary task did not have any real structure or story and we didn't really have a clue on what we wanted to film it didn't turn out very good. So therefore for our actual film we decided that it would be a good idea to create a story board to ensure we had an idea on what we were going to film and where.
While we did our actual film we felt that we were better adept to shot the scenes and our editing ability was much stronger.
We learnt how to film the scenes with much more effect as during our preliminary task we used a poor quality camera while in our final film we decided to film our shots on an iPhone 6 which had much better quality.
We also decided to mainly film our shots outside or in well lit rooms as a lot of our preliminary task was shot in a very dark room so therefore the audience could hardly see the characters and the quality of the scenes were not good.
As you can see even though we used a filter to make our actual film darker it is much clearer than the scene we used in our preliminary.
We learnt how to edit together our final product much better through the techniques we touched on in our preliminary task. During the editing stage of our film we were much more comfortable editing the shots together and it is very evident in how our film came out as we used many different techniques
