Evaluation Question 7

LOOKING BACK AT YOUR PRELIMINARY TASK, WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU HAVE LEARNT IN THE PROGRESSION FROM IT TO THE FULL PRODUCT?

Our preliminary task involved shooting a person walking down a corridor, into a room, and then engaging in conversation with another person. We had to do this whilst including a variety of techniques such as shot-reverse shot (one shot looking over one shoulder of one person, then one shot looking over the other shoulder of the other person), match on action (reaching for door handle, opening the door, closing the door – whilst using different shots each time) and the 180^o rule (not crossing an invisible line, in order to keep the audience orientated). I think that, although we did not use all of these techniques that we learnt about during the preliminary task in our final film opening, we did take them into consideration, such as the match on action during the scenes of the main character Isabella Park walking.

I found creating the piece for the preliminary task easy for the most part. However, I did sometimes find using the various tools in the Adobe Premiere Pro software a little difficult at times and as such I focussed on improving these skills in order to create our 2 minute film opening. My particular difficulties in the preliminary task were using the transitions and tools within Premiere Pro to my advantage. To conquer these difficulties, I decided to research tutorials on the internet.

To create our 2 minute film opening, we used many of the techniques that we learnt about in the preliminary task, such as camera shots (i.e. tracking and establishing shots, to follow the main character/build tension and set the scene for the audience respectively).The knowledge that we gained on these techniques in the duration of the preliminary task was invaluable as it allowed us to create the best piece of work possible. Once we became confident with these basic techniques, we decided to experiment with some other techniques that were not used for the preliminary task. These included a POV shot (from inside the bush: see image op 1).
