Evaluation

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt from it in the progression from it to the full product?

When looking back at my preliminary task, I feel I have learnt a lot about how to structure a thriller openings sequence. Our preliminary piece was too much of a story which meant that there was too much going on in the space of two minutes. It also made it difficult to set up real enigma codes and raise questions within the audience as the enigma codes and questions raised were often answered before the clip finished.

We also did not use credits very effectively within our preliminary task. Instead of putting names with what those people did we simply added the names to the shots. This made the credits meaningless and the font that we used was not very eye catching. To improve on this, we had to learn how to overlay credits onto existing footage and change the font that we used.
