The preliminary task was useful because it was like a practise exercise before we got to work on the actual project and i have learnt quite a lot from it. One thing that I have learnt during the making of the preliminary task is that when you are filming a conversation scene, you have to put the camera in a certain angle (360) so that you can see both characters without seeing the camera. When I was shooting our opening sequence, i kept in mind that you are supposed to see both their reactions. Another thing that I have learnt during the preliminary task was to use smooth camera movements when appropriate. During most of our opening sequence, we tried to keep the camera movements smooth and avoid any shakiness. However, there were a few times when it was quite shaky but that was actually intentional to make the viewers feel uncomfortable with the character.
When editing the preliminary task, i have learnt a few things that would be useful later on. One of them is that
that continuity is very important, when your putting shots together you have to make sure it flows and makes sense. Another thing that I learnt is that when I'm editing, cutting to different shots and angles will make a particular shot look more appealing than if I just used one shot from one angle. So when we were editing our opening sequence we used shots from different angles for each sequence. We also kept in mind the continuity so that the shots go smoothly together. We didn't use any titles or text for our preliminary task, but we did for our opening sequence. We also didn't use any music in our preliminary task but we did in our opening sequence. Overall, the preliminary task did get me ready for the opening sequence because I learnt useful skills and information that I wouldn't have otherwise when it comes to filming and editing.
