- 1. Evaluation Question 3 Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
- 2. The preliminary task was something that didn’t give me too much difficulty. One obvious rule was the 180-degree rule, whereas the camera can wander around the semi circle, but cannot move out due to the fact that it’d ruin the audiences perspective. The program we were using to edit was Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0, and we had to learn to use it quickly so as to move straight on to our main thriller project. It wasn’t a long learning process, the tools were easy enough to use and editing became something of simplicity in the months following the preliminary task.
- 3. After all this time I’ve learnt to look deeper into thriller movies, to see if even the shots may resemble some important part of it. Through learning this, me and my partner learned all the different thing needed for a thriller (e.g. Mise-en scene, lighting, sound (diegetic/non- diegetic). Working in a small group served better than working in a large one due to the fact that there could have been a conflict of interests and the group might have split because of this.
- 4. From this whole project I have learned how to work within certain deadlines, such as the amount of time we had to film and edit. Though sometimes I found these rather hard to meet, I still did my best to get it on time be it rushed or not. The title for the movie was created by the other member of my group, and we used it simply because at the end of the sequence you cannot tell who is bad or who is good.
- 5. • Managing the actors was a lot easier than previously thought. Thanks to the fact that they are all friends, it was made very easy to bring them altogether and act this out. On top of that, they had all previously attended a drama school, Sam Braverman performed in their version of Blood Brothers. • Locations were easy to fix. We had the idea for the small road before the project had even begun, but the second area we filmed in was a lot harder as it was far busier at times (horses and other cars). • Costumes were simple, we just got all the actors to wear hoodies. • The only real prop that was needed was the car, which was driven by one of the actors and so up for use.
- 6. The storyboarding too was relatively easy as well as a joint effort. I couldnt draw it due to the fact that i’m awful at drawing, and so my partner did so as I worked on the script. We never really left the original plan, we stuck true to the roots we had set. The reason that we just kept it as close to the same as we could was because we genuinely felt good about this idea, and the ending itself was strange on it’s own so as too make even the audience confused.
