After watching through my prelim task I've realised that the shots we used in it were basic and simple easy shots to do for example we used, over the shoulder and close and mid shots. Personally I feel the smoothness of the the sequence was choppy and didn't flow well. There are also a few places in the prelim which I have noticed that we haven't thought about where we are filming from , for example when filming through the blinds you can see us filming from the opersite window.
In our thriller I found that we used a lot more complex shots for example, extreme close up, movement shots and point of view shots. The whole flow between the shots were more flowing and instead of doing easy long shots we did shorter and more complex shots which makes it more interesting to watch. We also included focus pulls and other techniques that we learnt on the day which I think made a big difference to our thriller.
The Mise en scene in our prelim was vary basic and we only used one prop which made the whole sequence very clear about what it was about. I think we could have come out with a lot more other ideas for using our prop as we only used it in one shot. We didn't really focus on the clothing or where it was set either.
In our thriller we used a vast amount of props for it including; a tent, string, rubbish and other general waste products which made the area look lived in, we also boarded up the windows with cardboard to make it look like he is hiding. We also focused a lot on the clothing and dressed him up in dark baggy clothing, made his grow his facial hair and he wore big boots. I found that small things which we thought about make a big different even if you don't notice them quickly I think miss en scene does make a difference.
The editing on our prelim is vary basic as the shots don't flow from shot to shot they were jumpy and looked slightly awkward, I think we should have blended the clips more when editing which would make the sequence better but as it was our first time using final cut pro we were very inexperienced and didn't know how to do a lot of these things.
Our editing obviously improved a lot more for our thriller as we were more confidence with using the program and we had longer to edit it which made a big difference as we got use to it over time. we included a lot new things which I didn't know how to use from the prelim such as adding titles and blending tools which made a big difference and made our thriller look more natural.
For sound in our prelim we literally just filmed whilst recording the sound at the same time, this made the voice sound weird and echoey. For our thriller on the other hand we dud various different things to make the sounds right, although we didn't have a script we had to build a base using the back ground sounds of when we shot on the day. We also used a recording muff which made the sound more clear, and then downloaded various different sounds which we needed off line and merged them into the background sounds so they were so crisp and loud.
