Looking back at your preliminary Task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression of it to full product?
This is our first significant shot in our preliminary task. We chose to start of with a close up shot done by hand filming a mysterious character opening a door handle. we used the school camera to film this shot so the sound was not best quality. There is also non diegetic background music playing which is quiet and eerie this creates suspense.
We continued to film our main character from the back so it would create a sense of mystery and leave our audience wondering who this person is and what they are hiding. The idea of creating mystery was then later developed in creating and editing INHABITANT as our supernatural being is rarely revealed in the opening scene , the dark attic that the supernatural being lingers in connotes danger and mystery. We also used an effect called ''bad tv transition" which enabled us to create distortion in a significant shot in the attic when the camera pans to the right and the audience catch a quick glimpse of the ghostly figure the distortion effect quickly comes in interrupting the footage and making it unclear of what the audience can see therefore emphasising on the mystery of this supernatural being as we rarely get to see its front. We also improved our sound quality for INHABITANT as in addition to using our camera microphone we also used a music recording microphone which enabled a sharper quality sound. However this was only shown through the beginning scenes in INHABITANT. This was achieved by dubbing over the original sound . We also progressed our filming technique by using a tripod to achieve still shots where as in our preliminary task the filming was quite shaky. We also used jump cuts effectively in INHABITANT as it made the cross cutting of scenes smoother and quicker also creating pace to our opening scene. Where as in our preliminary task we did not film enough frames for there to be slick cross cutting we also had very little knowledge of editing and creating jump cuts effectively. The first title shot in the beginning of our preliminary task is very plane and only lasts one second. We improved our use of titles in our film opening as we had more knowledge of editing the font so we used the clockwork effect on Adobe premier to create a a clockwise appearing font that is revealed slowly connoting mystery and lasting longer then the titles used in our first task.
