Question 7Looking back at your preliminary task what do you feel

you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

Preliminary Task

Our preliminary task wasn’t as we hoped for, this was mainly due to our little understanding regarding camera shots, and editing. However, throughout our production I have learnt many new skills as opposed to when I was creating my preliminary task which allowed me to be more creative while creating our thriller.

Blank space was an issue we encountered, we didn’t focus fully on mise-en-scene and noticed this when we watched back our preliminary Task. Therefore, we focused wholly on mise-en-scene and the importance of it within our final production.

Our final product was carefully produced, we selected certain books that would typically be on a therapists bookshelf.

Lighting was a key issue in our preliminary Task, we didn’t plan efficiently which resulted to us filming against light which wasn’t a sensible decision. Many scenes within our final production were outside, so we relied wholly upon natural light. This was a slight issue as typically we wanted a dark atmosphere however, it was uncontrollable.

Our preliminary and final product was filmed in a school. This inspired us to develop a plotline which centres around a certain profession as it would be less difficult to construct.

Equipment such as computers, books and offices were easy to access. Filming in a school didn’t drawback our creativity, working with what we had access to was challenging yet enjoyable.
