Preliminary task- Miss Georgiou

In this post I will be discussing the success of our preliminary task and what we have leant for the experience. For the task we were set the challenge of filming a short peice of work, where two or more characters must simply discuss a general topic. The purpose of this task was to familiar ourselves with the equipment that we will be using in the filming of our thriller clip.  Also it would give us a chance to try and incorporate the different camera shots.

The things that I would keep the same when filming my thriller clip would be the time aspect that we used throughout. I think that we kept the time aspect into consideration when we filmed our preliminary task, this would be helpfull when we film our thriller clip becasue it would allow us to film everything nessesary in order for it to work. Also the fact that we managed our time well would suggest that we can film throughly and well, and not have to constatly be affraid of running out of time.

Another thing that we did well in the task was introducing various different camera angles, I think that this was good because when we film our thriller clip it would mean that we are able to provide the audience with a number of different camera perspectives. This would add to the suspense that the audience is feeling as they're given many different views of the victim or the killer.  We would need to add a large variation of camera shots in the thriller clip as it would ensure that we got a better overall grade as it shows a good understanding of camera shots.

Finally another thing that our group did well was keeping composed throughout. This would be good to do when we film our thriller clip as it would ensure that we will not lose any marks for not sticking to the narrative. Also if the characters within the clip are serious it would add to the realism of the narrative and add suspense to the audience as the know that the characters are being realistic.

From doing the preliminary task it has though our group some key things that we will need to do when filming our final thriller clip. For example I think that we would need to incorporate more editing styles in order to achieve higher marks, and make the clip more conventional to the thriller genre. We could introduce some specific cuts, which could add to the suspense and tension that the audience will be feeling, when watching the clip.

Another things that we need to ensure that we will get a good mark is to position the camera angle correctly accordingly to the camera shot. For example if were using a high angle shot we need to ensure that the camera is positioned up high,looking down upon the audience. If we were to try and create different perspectives of some points we would need to use a variety of camera shots, so therefore need to be familiar with various camera shots in media.

In conclusion I think that our group in general performed well and we are able to take some essential pointers from the preliminary task. I think that our group achieved the purpose of the task, because we were by the end familiar with the equipment that we will be using when filming our final thriller clip.
