Our preliminary task set the foundations for our thriller as it gave me a insite to what is needed to create successful piece of filming. The skills I learned from it was the 180 degree rule which we was close to braking. We also experimented in camera shots in our preliminary such as the handheld shot and close ups which where very effective and was then used in our thriller However, without doing this I feel our final media product would not have been of a good standard because there wouldn’t be as much experience to deal with problems such as low lighting conditions.
In the preliminary task we filmed basic camera shots such as medium, high and long shots to give us variation that could be put into a sequence. Because of experiencing this in our preliminary we where able to make better decisions on shot types and what shot types would work for our plot. When we edited the task we imported the scenes and cut the parts that we did not need It has given me greater awareness towards the consideration of the target audience and how it determines the outcome of decisions made during the production process. For example the preliminary project was good for me as both the preliminary and my final product were aimed at roughly the same age group, my preliminary was aimed at college students and my main project was aimed at teenagers with a BBFC rating of 15.
During the preliminary task I was just getting used to using blogger and uploading and embedding materialbut when it came to my final product I can honestly say now that I’m confident using it which allowed me to use it quicker and I have found this process a lot easier. Due to our preliminary task, we created plans, storyboards and shot lists for our thriller opening as we found that it helped us a lot in the organisation of both of the products.

As well as a shot list and story board we create mood boards to help up with the type of shots that we wanted to include in our thriller opening and the type of props and costumes that we wanted to show, we also created a mood board of the type of location that we wanted to use, that would create the most dramatic atmosphere for our thriller opening, as this was one thing we did not plan for our preliminary task. Our preliminary production did use a small range of camera shots which were effective, and it was edited fairly crisply so there wasn’t much we didn’t need in there. On top of this, our dialogue was good and the short film looked realistic while still being succinct and straight to the point.
I feel that looking back at our preliminary task we have improved in our skills a great deal, in the way that we frame the shots and the mise-en-scene that we created for each of the shots. For this production we put a lot more thought into the smaller details, such as what was in the background of each shot, making sure that nothing looked out of place, this is something that we didn't consider to much during the making of our preliminary task.

The key skills I have felt I have learned overall is how to adjust to lighting conditions by changing camera settings and placement of camera. I’ve also learned how to use a wide range of camera shots to create a more diverse clip. Using these key skills I was able to apply them to my thriller opening by trying different angles and shots and also adjusting to get the best possible lighting conditions.
