Looking back at my preliminary task I feel I have learnt a lot in the progression from the task to the full product and improve my technique in all areas (camera work, sound, editing and with mise – en – scene. Firstly, by allowing us to choose our own genre and story line made the product more enjoyable and interesting therefore causing groups to work harder and more thoroughly. Also by listing a number of different shots we had to use it really broadened our technique use. We used an array of camera work (such as close ups, establishing shots, long shots, mid shot, high angle, low angle , pan, tilt, shot reverse shot), which w
e may not necessarily used in the preliminary task like an establishing shot for example.
Our main sound in our film opening was split between diegetic and non – diegetic sound. Our main diegetic sound was dialogue between characters and sound from the natural surroundings like traffic etc. We used certain non diegetic sound however to add a certain sense to the film or to raise the tempo/ pace of the film. An example of how we did this is shown at the beginning of the film with the 1st person perspective of Chris running down the street, the added music made it seem as if he was running from someone because he had done something wrong. We also used a sound bridge of the non diegetic sound when Chris is running down the street in to the diegetic sound (banging doors) of Chris coming in to the boss’ house.
In editing we mainly used cuts to move form one scene to the other but we also used fades for changes in time etc. an example of how we used a fade is when the boss is on the bridge declaring they need a meeting and then a fade in two gathering tools, weapons etc to pull off the heist. We also used eye line match through out our work to show the relationship between the boss and his right hand man, an example of this is in the boss’ house when the right hand man comes back with money an has disappointed the boss. The boss keeps good posture and keeps fixed eye contact on his henchman , however the right hand man is slouched ove
r a bit and is mainly looking at the floor, only looking up every now and again for pity.
Costumes and location were key factors for us because we wanted people to know that this was a London based film and also to give a certain vibe off for each character. Costumes for each character had to be different; an example of this is the boss’ costume were always very smart expensive clothes where as Chris’ were clothes designed to help him blend in with the general public especially when he was on the street.
I feel that especially in the editing, sound and mise – en – scene department I’ve improved immensely because certain things like sound bridges, fade etc I would not have even considered doing in the preliminary task, so to use these devices and use them successfully is a real achievement for me
