Preliminary Task

We really enjoyed this task. Nevertheless, we wish that we had a longer time to expand on the sound which we did as we believe we had the potential to make it better through various other stages of sound including various transitions and extra sound effects. We hope you enjoy watching.

Evaluation:
In our preliminary task we learnt a lot. We learnt properly how to use the camera, and how to use different types of camera shots to make our task better. We also learn how to use different pieces of equipment, such as using trolley's for a steady movement for creating the shot type pan. Also, having use of props to make shots more effective added to the mise en scene and overall effectiveness of our task.

Overall we enjoyed this task and learnt a lot. There are a lot of things we have done well in our task, but there are also things that we can aim to improve with our full opening sequence. One thing I believe we have done well is using a different variety of camera shots. For example, using the pan shot type by using a trolley to steady the camera and also using an over the shoulder shot to show that James is in power when he has Toby defenceless on the floor. The continuity is also done well, as the timing of the camera jumps cuts were perfected and the timing was done well. One thing that we can improve on is our audio track, as it was slightly rushed, and is mainly the same throughout the whole task, other than the slight change in tune once Toby has gone through the door. We are also now more experienced in the camera work and editing fields, and our opening sequence should reflect this.
