Prelim Evaluation

 By doing my prelim this has helped me learn a lot about filming and the problems which may occur. The strength on my prelim sequence is the match on match action which we used when opening the door as it worked well and was done effectively. I think that when we tried to zoom in the eye to go into a coffee needs to be improved by using a camera with a better zoom as this would make the shots look a hole lot better. I think our conversation shots were ok but could have used more shots in order to make the scene a bit more interesting.  I think some of the shots would need to be redone if I was going to use for my opening sequence as there are some which jump a bit and are a bit unsteady. By doing this prelim task it has taught me a lot about filming and how you need to take a lot of shots for just one part of the scene in order to make it look real and to interest the audience. This task helped me learn a lot about editing and when doing my opening sequence I will use all of the skills I learnt in this task to help such as the transitions we can use and how one frame can really make the difference overall in the scene. We did not include any music in our prelim and you really realise how effective music is in a scene when there is none there therefore, when doing my opening sequence I am going to think very carefully about the type of music and sounds I use to help the audience to understand the scene.
