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

                                                           Preliminary Task
Since creating our preliminary task we have extremely improved on our overall filming techniques, due to the knowledge we have learnt in our research. In our final project we were able to use a variety shots, angles, editing techniques and use of diegetic and non diegetic sound.



In our Thriller opening we were able to use editing techniques and camera shots, angles and sound an eerie and uncomfortable atmosphere for people who are watching our project. For example:

• Jump cuts
• Low angle shots
• High angle shots
• Cut in
• Cut away
• Close up
• Extreme close up
• Diegetic sound
• Non diegetic sound
• Quick paced cuts
• Black and white effect

These use of filming techniques are a massive improvement from our preliminary task, as in our preliminary task there was lack of shot range, angles and use of both non diegetic and diegetic sound as the only sound we used was diegetic. Since our preliminary task we have been able to research and plan our project making us much more knowledgeable about camera editing techniques and allowing us to improve our overall project because we were able to use techniques effectively and appropriately for the thriller genre.

We were able to research the language and content, which was appropriate for our age range which is rated 15. The research allowed us to make our project appropriate and appeal to the audience which it was aimed at.
