Evaluation
I think that our prelim task was good and we used many different shots and camera angles. We used mostly straight cuts, however we did use fade to black for some of the transitions, this made our prelim look professional. We edited our prelim well and we made sure that each shot looked good, for example on the CCTV shot we used a black and white effect and put a time stamp in the corner to make it look like a CCTV camera. We also made sure that we added transitions between the shots to make it look a bit different, this made our prelim look good and also professional. We also made sure that it contained all the things we asked to include in our prelim, for example we had to include someone walking down a corridor, opening a door and two people having a conversation, we included all these things however the conversation between the two people was a bit too short in our prelim, we could make this better by making the conversation last a bit longer and maybe as it is a interview style some questions could be asked. The opening of the door was a successful shot because we edited it so that the sound of the door opening matched the door opening in the next shot. We also used the 180 degree rule, this makes our prelim look good and also it made it look professional.
I think that filming our prelim was easy and we used different parts of the school to make it look as good as it could be. However in our plans we said that we were going to use another person to be in our prelim, we had to change this because the person we were going to use was filming their prelim at the same time. We adapted to this change quickly and came up with another idea of how we could film this without using three people, instead we filmed Georgia coming into the school to have an interview. Changing our idea at the last minute made it a little bit harder to film, but we did still stick to our plan that we made, we just didn't have three people staring in our prelim task. So the storyboard we created at the start of this task was not used as we had to change our plans so that meant we needed to make a new storyboard, which are below.
Although we used what we thought was a lot of different shots, in our feedback from our peers they said that we needed to include a wider range of different shots, this would make our prelim look a lot better and once we film our Thriller we will be using a wider range of shots. We wanted to gain experience of using the camera and filming different shots so that we know what we can improve on when making our Thriller opening. We think that the quality of the camera wasn't very good, this might be because we didn't focus the camera, next time we film we will make sure that we try and focus the camera to make the quality clearer and look better.
The things that we need to improve on are; the use of the music and where we have placed it, this is because in our peer assessment our peers said that the music didn't sound right and wasn't really needed. Another thing that we need to improve on is that we need to include a wider variety of camera shots and angles. When we film our Thriller we will need to make sure that we use music correctly and in the right place to create an effect or tension, we also need to make sure that we use a range of camera shots, this will make our Thriller look better and look more effective. It will also make it look like a Thriller and we will also make sure that we use the typical conventions of a thriller, this is so that it looks more professional.

I think that this is a successful shot from our prelim because we have made it look like a CCTV camera, however you can see that it shakes a little bit. If we were to do this shot again i would make sure that it didn't shake and that it was steady.
I think that this shot isn't successful because you can't see the interviewer (Conor) very well as he is hidden behind the computer. If i was to do this shot again i would make sure that you could see Conor clearly and i would make sure that Georgia didn't have her hands on her hips.
I think that this shot isn't successful because this shot should be closer to Georgia. This shot doesn't look like an over the shoulder shot and if i was to film this shot again i would put the camera closer to Georgia's shoulder.
