Prelim Opening Evaluation

What was my role in the filming and editing process? 


 My role in the filming process was to film certtin sections including any high angle shots because im tall and have a steady hand. Below are the shots that i filmed:
















































I am happy with the section i filmed for which was the over the shoulder shot and i used the 180 degree rule which was one of the required elements we needed to have in our prelim. And when filming i could get a good angle over the girls shoulder because of my height advantage which was good for this section. When i was editing this section i had to go through all of the over the shoulder shots and find which sections of the clip followed the words of the script, Becky started to edited this section then she past it over to me fso that i could find the sections to match. Then after we had reviewed the clip we then had to trim the clips down a bit more and we all discussed if a clip should be slowed down or become faster. After this we was all happy with the prelim and was all happy with the imput we put into filming and editing so we had now finnised our prelim.






How did i meet the brief? 

I think, as a group we met the brief as we managed to include match-on-action(showed below)..



















We also did the other elements which were shot-reverse-shot, as well as 180degree rule (shown underneith)










Also in our prelim we had our character walking across the room to where she had to stand for the rest of the filming as they had thier conversation. (Character walking below)







So we had all of this so i think me and my group met our breif.



How am i going to improve and use what i've learnt for my main task.


To improve on this i will think about using a more complicated and deeper meaning to it because i felt our prelim story became predictable and tended to not be exciting. So to improve on this in my main task i would make sure in my main task i included something that would keep the audience's attention by using something diferent or new like a montage of the characters for example. Also to improve next time i think i would make sure i plan where the filming would take place before we get the camera so that we are fully prepared for the task when we come to film it. Overall from the prelim i have learnt that when filiming i should make sure we have filmed some sections twice or more so that just in case, and then i'll have two then i can choose the best one which looks the best. One positive thing that i have learnt from this is i would use a lot of different style shot angles and types so that the emotion and expression from the characters can be clearly shown. The prelim was good expereince for when i come to filming my two minute opening as my main task and i will use what i have learnt here to help me.


Here is the costume desgin we came up with for our prelim:


Here is the storyboard that we used to help us film our prelim:
