Evaluation Question 7: What I've learned since the preliminary task

Camera Work:

From looking at my final piece and my preliminary piece i can clearly tell that i have used more camera angles to break up a shot. I can say with the camera i have learned new skills with it. In the final product of mine there are many shots such as over the shoulder shots, long shots, point of view shots, close ups, tracking shots and more. The use of more camera angles makes my thriller opening look more thrilling. Below there is a mood board  about both of my final and preliminary products with different camera angles used in the thrillers.

Technologies:

I have learned many technologies since the preliminary task. I have learned how to use editing softwares like adobe premiere, iMovie, after effects and photo shop. I used Imovie to edit my preliminary task. This editing software was very hard to use. We had use adobe for our thriller opening which was much easier. We had a scene were we had CCTV footage we used after effects for it. To create our ident we had used PhotoShop. I can clearly see that i have learnt many editing scenes since my preliminary task.

Narrative:

We have had a more intelligent feel rather than a basic one in terms of narrative. Our preliminary task had a basic narrative as we had two men passing a file between themselves while they are both investigating each other. In our thriller opening it looks similar but it in this one its more professional and intelligent. There is a meeting between two Mysterious characters in a very unpleasant location, between the two characters they are in a quiet area and they start to talk to one another and then they pass around a parcel which looks very mysterious just like the file, but at the same time they are being observed by a third character that no one knows about yet. The third character is a investigator (a detective) he is watching over the two characters similar to our preliminary task. The detective is doing this work alone and so far everything is going well. He's then attacked and murdered in his own office. This is very different to our preliminary task. The investigation is about a possible terrorist attack. i think that the narrative has increased to a more exciting thrilling level.

Costume, Props and Setting:

The costumes, props and setting compared to our preliminary task is way better. We used a simple folder in our preliminary task as a prop that was all. In our final piece we used Parcels cars, news articles, computers and images. The costumes met the characters profiles as the evil doers wore hoodies and the good guy wore a shirt and tie. We used tattoos for the two evil doers as costumes to represent their organisation. We moved settings to outside school. We filmed out side school and in a office.
