This task allowed us to start getting creative with camera work, storyline, props, etc.

So when it came to our final piece we already had some experience in being creative. This made it easier for us to get stuck into creating our film.

For our preliminary task we mainly stuck to use close-ups and mid shots, with the occasional use of a long shot or extreme closeup.

So when we started filming for our main piece we used a lot of varied and different shots.

Our preliminary task helped us see how important creating a storyboard was.

As we didn't do one for this when we came to filming it took a lot of time to think about what shots we were going to do and what we actually wanted.

Whereas for our main task we knew exactly what shots we wanted and what kind of clips we wanted to include, so this helped us largely.

Final Cut allowed us to do a lot more with the clips. For example it was a lot easier to change the colouring of the clips and you could do a lot more with it. This can be seen at the start of our thriller sequence, as we have altered the original colour of the clip to make it look eerier.

We also used techniques like speeding up clips, as we found some of them were too slow. For example when George closes the curtains the original clip was really slow and dragged out so we edited to speed up the timing of the clip.

For our opening sequence we moved on from iMovie and used Final Cut. This is much more developed program and is a lot more technical.

IMovie helped us grasp a basic knowledge of editing, so it was easier to adapt into Final Cut.

Final Cut allowed us to do a lot more and was quite professional.

We made a few common errors in our preliminary task, however this taught us what to not do again for our opening sequence.

Whereas in the next shot I am seen to have disappeared, and you don't see me carrying on walking.

Here I am seen walking out of the room.

One of the mistakes we made was not a good use of continuity. For example at one point I stood up to walk off and in the next shot you don't see me walking.

We made a few errors with continuity, another was with Jess. At one point she is seen walking into the room and then when we cut to the next shot she is sitting down.

So when it came to our thriller film we made sure we avoided a lack of continuity and focused on keeping it all the same.

For our preliminary task we edited in iMovie, this is quite a simple program and was easy to get the hang of.

On this we learnt how to cut clips; how to split them; how to overlap sound effects and music; about timing, etc.
