Final Film

Question 7

In the preliminary task, i learned a lot about continuity editing. For example, we had to make sure that our clip included an example of a match-on-action, master shot, shot reverse shot and more importantly, we had to adhere to the 180 degree rule. Here is our preliminary task clip:

 As you can see throughout the clip, we included all of the required continuity editing techniques that we had learned. However, it is clear from the audio of that clip that we did not know much about editing, for example, you could hear the background noise throughout the piece. As well as this, we did not use any examples of more advanced camerawork skills. This is quite a contrast from our opening sequence:




As you can see from this opening sequence, our group used more complex camerawork skills. For example, we used over-the-shoulder shots, extreme close ups, and point of view shots. These techniques were used to keep the piece feeling tense, as opposed to it becoming tedious through the repetition of the same type of shots.
As well as this, we also used far more editing techniques. For example, we included titles in our opening sequence, as well as adding in our own production company logo. This made our opening sequence look more professional, and gave the appearance of the opening of an actual real film. Also, we decided to detach the audio from the majority of our clips, instead adding in our own custom soundclip running throughout the clip. We decided to detach the audio as there was too much background noise, and it also made our ambient sound clip sound very tense and dark on its own. This therefore gave the clip the feel of a real thriller film.
