When we created our preliminary task, we were very new to
the film making process, and as it is evident in the film itself, and knowledge
of shot types was very basic, and I feel we were slightly scared of
experimenting too much with our shots, in case it was ‘wrong’. In our
preliminary task, we used a simple idea of shot-reverse-shot, whereas in our
main task, we were far more experimental, our tracking shot being a prime
example of this, as I feel that by this point, we felt a lot more comfortable
with the cameras.
We took very little time doing pre-production, choosing to
film in a classroom that didn’t dress to make a believable restaurant. Also, we
didn’t think very much about costume, as it was simply something we had found
in the costume cupboard of the drama studio. Whereas, during our main task, we
took much longer doing pre-production, as we had several different storyboards
in case the tracking shot didn’t work.
Overall, I feel that when we did the preliminary task, we
had no idea just how much planning would go in to a professional piece of work,
but I feel that after creating our film opening, we are far more aware of the
time and resources that goes into creating a film, no matter what it’s budget
is.
