Preliminary task final film

I think our preliminary task turned out really well considering its the FIRST FILM me and Lauren have both planned, filmed and edited. I have definitely learnt a lot from doing this.

I really liked the way we did the continuity editing, I didn't think it would turn out as well as it did. I'm pleased with how it all flows together - especially with the variety of shots. The shots could have been done better, but for a first attempt they were pretty good. We included all the shot types (180degree rule, match-action, shot/reverse shot and eye line-match) which makes the film more effective in the way that it looks more professional.

The quality of the film could be improved, e.g the lighting and effects, but with the time constraints we had, this was hard to try and manage. although for my coursework I will definitely learn from this to bring in artificial lighting and plan out a lot more time to edit.

The sound effects in the film made the whole film join together and flow a lot better, the music really suited the feel and atmosphere I was trying to create so I think this worked really well. I also added sound effects - e.g, the door opening squeak - to add more emphasis onto that movement, as the natural sound of it opening wasn't really loud or effective enough.
