For our preliminary task we've filmed a group of three people who were planning to rob a bank. We called it 'The Heist''. The idea of bank robbery is great as there is a lot of tension that needs to be filmed using different camera shot and angles.
Preliminary task helped us practise all of the different techniques when making a film. It made me more confident and gave me new ,great , ideas on how to make a short film exciting and tensing to watch.However it has also revealed mistakes which will be considered when we will be filming the 2 minute opening sequence of a Thriller .
We've used a variety of different camera shots. Some of the shots were not perfectly filmed but most contributed well to the story.
One of my favourite shots is Shot reverse shot where one character is shown looking at another and the other looking back at the first character.SIce the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.
Example :
Match on action is where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action.Although the shots counld be shot hours ago ,once edited together it makes it seem as it is continous. The editors often use this technique to build a bridge which hides the mistakes inbetween the two cuts.
Example:
Overall i think that the Preliminary task when well and most importantly tought us more about film making and editing which is very important.I am looking forward to making the opening sequence of a Thriller as it will be a task which will test all of our skills and ideas.
