Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to your full product?
The difference in the planning and preparation of the preliminary task and our final task is massive. When it came to planning our preliminary task we didn't really plan out the props, where we were going to film or even the people we were going to use in it. On the shoot day of our preliminary task we used the studio, it didnt have a set built so we just filmed against white walls. We chose the subject of our preliminary task on the day and got given a gun to use as a prop. We didnt have anyone to act in our prelim task so we simply asked people that were free. With our final task we spent a few weeks planning where it was to be shot, the people we were going to use in it and the props we would use. Our group drew up a detailed story board including all the detail of our tracking shot and what the set would look like. Comparing both the prelim task and our final task it shows that a lot of planning and preparation is needed in order to make the final piece work. Although our preliminary task wasn't bad compared to our final piece you can really see the difference in quality not just with the set but the way we shot it.
As you can see above we have created a professional looking logo on photoshop. As you can the difference between the two is huge and the one in our actual thriller makes it look more like and actual media product.
We have also included credits in our thriller whereas in our prelim it was simply just a poster at the beginning saying our groups name.
Use of camera in prelim & final task & editing
For our real thriller we set up a long tracking shot through the audience. This was easier as it covered all angeles. In our Prelim task we had very basic camera shots so that when it came to editing it was much easier for us and also easier for us to learn the basics from editing it. In the Prelim we didn't add any visual effects or sound. It was just to get to grips with the very basics of editing.
When it came to editing our final piece we added a lot more sound and visual effects. With the sound we added layer upon layer. To get it sounding really professional. We also added a black and white effect to make the camera work look more professional and give a mysterious feel to it.
Because we hadn't used visual effects or sounds in the Prelim the editing became really exciting and interesting because we learnt how to build onto something that was already good and make it to a much higher standard.

Here we have two mid close ups. One from the Prelim and the other from our final thriller. As you can see the one from the Prelim is very bright and the lighting has not been edited to fit the atmosphere of the clip, whereas the close up from our thriller is set in black and white and is a lot darker. This is to fit with the mood and again atmosphere of it.
Here we have two shots that introduce the characters and also show us who will be involved within the scene. As you can see in the prelim the lighting again is not set up and everything is over exposed whereas in the shot from the thriller all the lighting is set deliberately to help tell the story. Around the two people in the Prelim there is alot of space around them. In our thriller all the space is filled.
