Question 7

From looking back at my preliminary task I feel I have learnt many new techniques and how positioning the camera well can create a great affect on the adueince.

What has also improved is the editing, this can be seen in the sense that in the extract the cuts work a lot better as it cuts on action when Aaron is walking and also is on screen for the right amount of time in terms of the shots that build up to the reveal of the dead body on the floor, this is a lot better to what was done in the preliminary task as the cuts are slightly delayed compared to what they are now.

What has also improved is the sense of Mise En Scene, in the shots in the preliminary task it is not that interesting compared to what is shown in the opening seqeunce, this is because in the car park it shows the charecters as a lot more iscolated which is very effective compared to a simple classroom.


These shots here show a clear ecample of how I have made progression from the preliminary task to now, as shown here on the first image the camera is not exactly placed in the best position as it is a high angle shot which creates the wrong mood we wanted, however if you compare it to the shot we used in our opening it is a lot more conventional as we placed the camera on the floor which I feel is a lot more better suited and the framing appears a lot better and also seems to be building up to something quick as the cuts our quite fast and we do not know much to what is going on.

 



As you can see here an over the shoulder shot has been used, at the time we thought it would come accross as more effectieve as a shot reverese shot followed however the frameing is not great as their is a lot of empty space to the left which would of worked better if Michael was their. However the shot shown in the clip of me laying dead on the floor is a clear example of how the cinematography has improved as it is more centered and also it shows me to appear behind bars which is very effective as it looks a lot more interesting rather than haveing nothing their.

Here is another example of how the camerawork has improved, in the shot of me dead it is better framed where as the shot with Ollie in we have the lower part of his face cut off, this shows a clear improvement in the camerawork.
