Analysis of Preliminary Task

Looking back at my groups preliminary task, I am overall quite pleased with the outcome of the clip that we produced, as when looking back at the clip, it flows well, the cuts are smooth the dialogue is acted well and the camera work was well done. The editing of our clip went well as we all contributed to editing some parts of the clip, resulting in us working as a team in order to make the clip look as good as it possilby could look. We included a security camera like shot at the start of the clip to produce the image to look like as if Fred was being monitored on his way to Bossman's room. We achieved this by including a noir tint on the two shots that we wanted to try and replicate a security camera as. We also included text and an image on the two shots that had 'REC' and a full red circle, as this would further replicate the realism of a legit security camera.

Despite the positives in the filming of the clip, there were some slight negatives. While we were filimg the security camera shots, we had to have the camera high up in the corners of a hallway, this resulted in the camera becoming unsteady and moving, as there was no available option for use to make the camera steady at such a high angle, deeming the shot as as not so true looking security camera.

Also while filming the scene that Fred gets shot and falls, the coats that we had put in place for him so that he wouldnt be hurt in anyway, were visible. Even though the coats aren't highly visible, the fact that they are visible in some way is a con as it reduces the realism and and legitmacy of the clip ans scene itself.

For improvemnts we could make for our final thriller clip, we could use more realistic shots or easier shots so that we get more steady and better shots  that aren't shaky look better to view. We also could have mounted the camera onto something so that it will have a more steady shot.
Also, to prevent from having props that aren't meant to be in shot, we would have to move everything in the surronding area whic is meant to help protect one of the actors/actresses, which is what the coats were used for.
