Premlim filming and editing

For my Prelim filming task we had to stick to a basic outline. It consisted of entering a room and then a section of dialogue all with out breaking the 180 degree rule. In my group was, Emma Dimelow, Ben Summerton and Becky Baker. We tried to film our piece in a mysterious way and trying to keep the identity of the characters a secret to build up suspense. We also used the camera bag as a prop to insinuate a important object. This made it less boring because we had used something unique. I was pleased with the shots that we filmed because they were at a high quality and we had a good variety. There was a shot that we didn't use which we could have, but i had thought of the idea after we had finished it. The shot was a point of view shot, walking down the corridor with a diagetic sound of heavy breathing. This would even further add to the effect of suspense and holding the characters identity unknown.

The quality of the shots really showed when it came to the editing, because we hardly had to cut down the shots and it fitted together quickly and smoothly. We all had a go at editing but it was very simple and straight foward to produce our high quality end result. We chose not to put any music to our piece because we would have to produce our own piece on Garage Band. We came to the conclusion of leaving the music, because it spiolt the mysterious feel we had created through the film, by putting cheesy music over the top.
