Question 7: Looking back at your prelim task, what

do you feel you have learnt in the progression

from it to the full product?By Lauren Stewart

Continuity Continuity is very vital when filming as from our prelim task there was a big jump when our actress opened the door this resulted in an evident cut scene on camera which was due to poor editing and time management.

In our final product we made sure we had smooth editing throughout by refilming anything that did not have a smooth finish to ensure we had that professional finish

Breaking the 180 DegreeThe 180-degree rule enables the audience to visually connect with unseen movement happening around and behind the immediate subject and is important in the narration of battle scenes.

When breaking the 180 degree rule we experienced difficulties with filming that due to poor camera positioning and careless organisation.When constructing our final product we made sure that we practised positioning the camera to avoid any unprofessional and unsteady footage

LightingDuring the editing process of our prelim task we noticed the importance of good lighting as the location where we filmed the footage had poor and dark lighting which had an overall disadvantage to our prelim footage.

In our final product we ensured we had a mixture of lighting both warm and dark lighting and soft yet subtle lighting, this contrast heightened the overall visual experience of our final product.

Codes of clothingThe importance of codes of clothing add to the overall language of mise en scene so from our prelim task we ensured in our final product we ensured the protagonist wore dark coloured clothing and hooded coats to protect and hide her identity due to low self-esteem and depression. As an audience we can gather the protagonist is not content with herself so uses her hood as a method of security from the outside world.

Using More Equipment Using the tracker allowed us to maintain action with a moving subject at least at a constant distance. The effect of this shot is that the camera keeps the subject within the frame. Directors use this in films in order to keep a constant movement with either the character, vehicle, or another traveling object
