Looking back onto our preliminary task, I believe that we have improved our final task and made it much better than before. After completing our preliminary we looked back and even gained feedback on what we could have done to improve and make even more appealing. One of the areas we chose to improve on was the storyline, as that storyline was okay for what we were doing at the time but what we didn’t do was think ahead to the rest of the film if we planned to carry on and film the rest. So this time we decided to create our opening sequence and give away enough of the storyline to keep the viewer s interested but not enough for us not to be able to carry on the storyline for the rest of our film. This is one of the elements that we have improved on from our preliminary task but it is also more gripping and interesting than before.
The second element that we decided to learn upon and change was the type of camera work. Looking back towards the preliminary task and how it was shot, the whole of the short film was shot in one room and only really one type of shot which was shot reverse shot. So this time we decided to have a change of scenery and have three different locations for our opening sequence and the three locations were the grounds of the block of flats, the stairwell and once again the living room of flat 111. Also this time we have used a variety of different shots and camera angles, Such as the shot where we see the girls looking out the window at the man starring up at them. This shows the use of the camera and angle positioning which is a lot different compared to our preliminary and the use of shots that were used in that.
Our final element that we have chosen to improve on was the amount of actors we had. Within our preliminary task we chose to have only two characters which were quite boring for the viewers to carry on seeing the same two faces. So we decided to add a few more characters to make the opening sequence a bit livelier and more interesting to watch.
