Prelim evaluation

For our prelim we were asked to do a short clip using shot reverse shot, match on action, 180 degree rule and also to add some small amouts of diaolog in there to enable the viewer to realise what was going on.

We re-did our prelim task due to the fact the first one was not right and didnt work well. This was because our first one was quite rushed we didnt take enough care in doing it, so for our own benifits we decided to re-do it. For our second one we decided to make it more planned and we put alot more concentration into it, we made ourself a story board before we went to film it. Our second prelim task went quite well although there were some faults, only slight ones though.

We managed to incorporate most of the main features and did them quite well although the lighting was not very good, this was due to the fact that the setting we chose did not have very good lighting and we did not take enough care in where we angled the shots. Also there is a slight jump in the middle where the door is being re-opened, this is something we will learn from this for future reference. We also learnt that alot of time and care was needed to be taken whilst doing it as the first time it was alot more rushed than the second one, this was why it went alot better. We also added some music to our pre-lim, i piece that we found worked well, this had a good effect on it as it made it more funny and enjoyable to watch.

By doing this we also learnt how to use iMovie. We used this to edit and work on bits in our prelim task. We learnt how to add effects such as music, this helped to set the mood of it. Aswell as this we learnt how to cut and crop clips too. iMovie gave a better look to the pre lim in general and it will also ensure our that our opening sequence to our movie is alot better quality.
