The preliminary task was the first task we had to carry out as a group. It involved us filming a short clip of two people having a conversation using different shot types and camera angles. The preliminary task was extremely useful at making us accustomed to the equipment that we would be using to film our thriller, like the tripod, camera and editing software Final cut pro X. From the preliminary task we learnt about the effects of different camera angles, like the reaction shot and panning shots to show one of the people involved in the conversation walking into the room. Also by filming the sequence only once, when it came to editing we realised some parts needed re filming, which was vital when filming our real opening as we filmed each scene several times to make sure we could choose the best possible one. The preliminary task also saved us time when editing our final production as by then we were accustomed to the editing software and able to efficiently use our time on editing rather than having to get used to the software, which would have cost us time.
Your analysis of question 7, demonstrates minimal understanding of how you developed from the preliminary task to the main task. You have considered some of the points, such as camera shots. But all these points need to be explored and discussed in a lot more detail throughout.
