Question 5)
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
In our preliminary task, we focused on the 180 degree rule and getting the sequence as continuous as possible whilst including a variety of camera shots and movement throughout. For example, we used a close up on the door handle as the girl opens the door, as well as a pan movement to follow her across the room.
This task enabled us to practice our technical skills and camera work before attempting to film our final opening.
We then transferred our newly developed skills into the filming of our opening, making sure there was continuity and accuracy, and that shots were clear and neat. For instance, in the sequence where we see Emma on her way to the train station, we managed to display a range of camera shots and movement whilst portraying continuity through her journey:
Continuity was really important in our opening so that it was easy to follow and did not seem like there were any gaps or jumps in the story. I think we worked best with continuity in the journey to the train station scene, as even though we did not show every single step of the way, the audience can still easily follow the journey, and it all links together.
Throughout our opening, we used a range of camera shots and movement, like in our preliminary task:
