The preliminary task was a very successful process in terms of functionality and the way in which it was developed. I started off with a major problem half way through the planning process of the preliminary task. Unfortunately, my partner who I was working with dropped out of the course so I was left to devise and plan everything myself. My teacher decided to ensure that I got the best out of the preliminary task, I should work with another group. This was done within the lesson and I was assigned a job role as soon as I started. We all started on the planning process which went very smoothly. I was then in charge of creating the story board and shooting script. After much planning and discussion we decided that it was time to start the filming process.
The filming process went very smoothly and a lot easier than we anticipated. We shot the scene in a classroom provided to us by the school. We started off with a ‘CCTV’ type shot of a character walking up the stairs. We had done this to show that we are capable of using particular conventions and styles. Although this is not the final piece, we understand that we had to create a piece that gives all the necessary functions of a basic movie. During the scene we used a number of conventions such as panning, over the shoulder shots etc.
The editing process went as smoothly as the filming process was. We did not anticipate it to go so smoothly but it was finished within a couple of hours. We had the opportunity to use the new Apple Mac computers that the school recently brought. Using this was a panicle process because without the excellent software used on the mac’s the editing would not be as easy and therefore the preliminary task would not be as professional. This mac is a vital tool for have, especially for our final production piece.
Overall, both the planning, creating and evaluating process went very well. Hopefully we can use this experience of using the newly found conventions of filming and the acquisition of new technology along with the creativity of the group to ensure that we have a well thought out, planned and executed final thriller opening.
