Prelim Conclusion

Throughout this task I feel that we have learnt quite a lot from the range of experiences we have had. We did come up against quite a few problems such as the amount of footage as we felt it was too short for the Preliminary Task. I think that together we worked well as a group, we used the lighting equipment available to add to the tension of the scene as well as following the script and with some exceptions following the plan we had devised.

Another problem we faced was the filming as we did not have enough footage, especially the shots needed to start the sequence off as one of our actresses had to be somewhere else so we had to shoot her scenes first leaving little time for our opening shots to be filmed and edited. This was a problem we overcame by filming her scenes editing them and then filming our next scenes and just adding them in at the beginning. This was the biggest issue for us as we had a deadline to adhere to.  

The planning and stroyboard helped us to film the shots quickly with the fewest re-takes so as to save time, it also helped with the editing as we knew how we wanted the shots to appear and from what angle and person we would see each piece of dialogue. We did face a few problems but together we overcame them and worked around them to get the best possible result with our Preliminary Task.

For the final quality of the film, I think for a first attempt it has gone fairly well, the problems we faced were a slight worry but we finished in time and worked well as a team, gaining good experience from the task.
