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

My preliminary task was quite basic in its uses of editing and mise-en-scene, these are the areas in which i have improved, however the cinematography was of a very high standard. So when it came to making the final opening sequence using the same techniques seemed like a no-brainer, so i followed the basic concepts and developed them to create a very proffessional looking opening sequence. These basic concepts included a steady camera, match on action and the 180 degree rue, by doing this the camera-work was to a very high standard.

This is my Preliminary Task

Editing was at a very basic level in the preliminary task, the furthest it extended was some match on action and the 180 degree rule, however in the finished product the editin has been broadened to include titles,fades, and transitions. Fade is the most natural of all the effects as it can be used to introduce and close a scene in a very natural way, i took full advantage of this in that i used it at the beginning of the scene and at the end of it. For the titles, livetype was used, this created very proffessional looking titles which I think tied together the whole peice as an opening sequence. Overall the editing improved dramatically and became one of the focal points for the opening sequence.

The mise-en-scene was not really considered in the preliminary task as we where asked to show technical aptitude not a consideration for effect on the audience etc. owever in the finished product we where asked to do so, this lead to a very dramatic change in the importance of mis-en-scene. In short we used it very well, in that we took into consideration costume, lighting, steriotypes etc. This allowed us to affect our audience and create a pre-made view of what each character was like, and keep them asking questions about what the rest of the story would hold for the characters we introduced.
