2. Looking back at my Preliminary task, The most I feel I have learnt throughout the
progression from it to the final full product is the camera angles. At the beginning of my
Preliminary task I did not know how to use a camera ,For example what shot goes well
with what you want to show such as a high angle shot or close up etc, Doing the
Preliminary task I now know how to do these camera shot . Therefore when we were
filming our opening sequence we knew which camera angle looks the paramount and
portrays well with our opening sequence .We have got taught from our Preliminary task.
In addition our preliminary task actors were not shown aggressive as the role of what
character we have choose to do in our Preliminary task the facial expression should show
more temper ,However we took this to consideration and when doing our real media
opening sequence we made our actor look more in role of the character and realistic as
this what grabs the audience attention.
Moreover by doing the Preliminary Task we knew how to structure a basic film of how it
should be . Besides we had a chance of trying out how it went well before doing a actual
opening sequence and by doing the preliminary Task we had a taste of when we do in our
actual one we also know what ideas and what camera shots to put in our real opening
sequence. Furthermore in The preliminary task we learnt how to edit our footage by
doing the Preliminary task we understood how to edit so when we were doing our
opening sequence it was much easier and beneficial on how to edit as while editing we
knew how to do cross cut fade etc to make it neat,Altogethere doing Preliminary task
helped our group to see and adjust how to do our opening sequence as we have done a
basic example of how it should be done.

3. • The Health and safety and logistical problems we did solve such as in our
opening sequence we were not allowed to use a shovel outside school
premises without an adult as for other external issues can may happen
within filming which will be there responsible. However we solve this
problem by taking a adult with us for example our teacher as he was
aware of the shovel and had a eye on while using the shovel. Moreover he
was holding the shovel at all times as he is responsible for allowing us to
take the shovel out of premises. Having The Shovel as a prop was well in
used such as it went well with our opening sequence such as the audience
will think why our actor has a shovel and why he has digged a hole
.Therefore the props give more attention such as the audience will be
thinking why is there a shovel needed in the opening sequence also in our
opening it shows the shovel is for digging but however the audience may
assume the shovel is perhaps for the murder of the scene he has killed
someone By props it leaves many answer and questions of what can or did
happen within the opening sequence.

4. • It was very difficult as a group to decide on a actor as the actors we have searched
were not always available for the time we are free or go well with our story as may
be because of the gestures of what they are showing for example we had Nicole as
a actor at first digging the hole but it did not go well with the way we wanted to
show audience as it did not alert horror and as she is a women it gave a image of
maybe she just digging a precious item as some women may do this , However we
did overcome this as Fergous our teacher was willing to help us and participate in
our opening sequence as the male role. This was a better idea as he is a male and
tall and looked more daunting. The location was nearby was behind college , it was
easy to access as you can walk it to Milfields. The location we first imagined to film
for our opening sequence was in Epping Forest however this is very far , and our
actor was not possible to go every time when filming. Moreover as it is very far if
we make any mistakes it was less likely we can go quickly and re film as it was very
far. However if we did choose this location the atmosphere will be more clear of
the image we wanted to present to the audience as it is a forest and the whole
opening sequence we aimed was to be set in a forest. Never the less our Milfields
did have tree and still did give the idea of feeling of forest such as the trees
presented this and it was easier to access.

5. • Creating a storyboard and a shooting script worked well in practice as it was in a
layout which was broken down in steps what will happen in our opening sequence
. It was in parts which was easy as it was already shown on the way we would like
to film our footage of the opening sequence. Having a storyboard and a shooting
script saved a lot of time as we already knew what we need to film what type of
shot and where, whereas if we did not have this we would of had no structure or
know what to film or have a sequence of ideas to go in a flow. Therefore it was a
good idea of having this as you can always look back to the steps of what filming.
However while filming we did add more camera shots and changed bits of our
opening sequence such as we as a group thought the idea would be better and go
well with the opening sequence or the camera angle for one of the shot in our
opening sequence kept zooming in and out we changed this camera shot to long
shot as we believe it went well with the opening sequence where as before we
choose zoom and this did not go very well with the idea in our opening sequence.
As it did not look professional Even though we did not always stick to the
structure of the layout of the storyboard and shooting script we had diffrenet
ideas while in the location which we as a group taught it will go very well within
the opening sequence.

6. • The time management was very limited . As we did not not have much
time .As a group it is was very hard for in my opinion if we had more time
our opening sequence would of had been much improved than now
because there was limited of time we could not re film some of the
footage we wanted to which was a disadvantage as some of the parts in
our opening sequence is not focused and still as the camera angle is
shaking . But within the time we still was able to meet our expectation of
the final opening sequence. We managed our time by choosing pacific
times and hours which we were able to film and within media lessons
everyone in our group is free as it is lesson time we had the chance to film
within these hours which was a success as all our group was together and
we filmed our sequence which we needed to be done with each others
initiate we also agreed to days and time which one of our group member
took role of editing (Nicole) and she did many hours of editing as she was
free at most times which we can . This was a success as we got our final
opening sequence complete.

7. • The way we organised our human resources was we made a
production schedule within our group which we wrote down who is
available at what days and time which they can film or edit parts
missing in our opening sequence. As a group we managed to meet
our deadline of the coursework for opening sequence but there was
a lot of arguments and dynamic in our process of film making such
as the equipments and resources for example who to take the
camera out when and when is our group are free to film . In
addition our group were not conducting very well with each other
as no one helped one another to get best grade within our group
everyone was more individual and want to get the grade
individually which was not a great idea as it is working as a group
you should be helping one another to get the best grade achievable
however at the very end we accomplished and finished our opening
sequence.
