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

The video shown below is our preliminary task that we completed before we started on our thriller title sequence. I think that since we made our preliminary task we have improved a lot. We have learnt a lot and focused more on mise-en-scene, sound, camera shots. We already new the basics of Soundtrack Pro, LiveType and Final Cut Pro but when we started our Thriller Title Sequence we've discovered much more about the programs and have learnt more about effects etc.

In our preliminary task we didn't focus on sound effects or on mise en scene. We were very bsic we everything we did. It isn't hard to see how much we've improved and how much we we've focused more on sound effects, mise en scene etc. because if you get one thing wrong it could mess up the Thriller Opening completely. We found it most difficult to find a place to shoot. We were okay for indoors locations but we first struggled to find an outdoor location as we needed it to busy in the background so that Megan looked more lonely and lost.


When we were doing preliminary task we were still new to the program so we didn't really know what we were doing but when it came to our Thriller Opening we explored the program and tried out new things to see what would look good. We also focused more on camera shots and angles e.g Abdel being hit with the iron. We filmed this from many different angels but none looked as good as the one we chose because you could see his facial expressions. In our preliminary task we didn't worry too much about the camera angles but for our Thriller Opening is was vital that we chose the right camera angle so the audience could understand the storyline more and be more intrested and drawn to it.
