Evaluation Q7

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the finished product?

From the time of starting the preliminary task to now we have learnt a lot of different things for example we have learnt how to use different things together. For example we have learnt to incorporate lights camera angles and sounds together at the same time in one clip. For example in the preliminary task I feel that it was very stop and start. Where as in our final thriller I feel it has a good steady flow to it. Also that it gives different effects and shows different kinds of emotions in it, also it has multiple story lines for example you need to think a lot more in this one. Whereas in the preliminary takes we gave you the story and what is happening straight away.

Some of the skills we have gained are things like. Finding the correct position and angle for the camera to give maximum effect when someone is watching it. I myself have also learnt how to edit better and add more effects to give a different effect. One thing I was hoping to learn about is the colour of the film. For example we can create a different effect. If we use a grey colour correction on the torture scene it would have made a gloomy atmosphere.

We have also learnt certain skills like editing. This has helped us because we have been able to use this throughout the process of this year. When we started our editing was a lot more sloppy and not fast paced. However when we go to our final thriller we was able to incorporate different things in out editing. For example we could start to use fast paced cuts that made our film a lot more effective, because of this editing it will reel in the viewer and they will not be able to stop watching because of the suspense.

When we done our first piece of coursework what was the camera angle assignment we were not able to find the best angles to place the camera and it made the film not as effective as some of the angles we could have used, but now because we are able to find effective angles this also adds a sample of emotion to the film because, from the angles we choose it shows different things. For example if we done a shot of a mysterious person we would do an angle that only shows the bottom of their face with the rest covered by something like a hood.

Also from the start of the year our blogs posts were not as good as they are now, this is because over time our writing skills have improved. This is because we are able to add more detail in short paragraphs this has lead to us being able to get more points across in short sentences.

Also we have gotten a lot better with things like, choosing music to fit the mood of the film. This has also helped us improve at different sound techniques to use in certain moments of the film. For example we have got a lot better at editing in a punching sound effect so it is timed perfectly with the connection of the punch.

Enigma

An enigma is usually where something is suggested to the audience but it is not fully explained. It can also be a question that is not immediately answered and is left a mystery until the reveal what is usually at the end of the film. For example we may see something at the start of the film, like someone throwing a briefcase into the river. The enigma here is us not knowing the identity og the person and we do not know the contents of the briefcase. We suggest to ourselves that it could be drugs, money or a bomb. These are the most typical  ideas yet it could be anything.
