Prelim post 11

As a group, we decided 5 targets we plan to reach in order to improve our main film. These targets have been decided based on the down falls of our preliminary film.

Targets.

1. Lighting- For our main task we plan to use artificial lighting where neccessary as opposed to natural light to improve the overall aesthetic quality of our film. Below is a link to a website that goes into more depth about the use of artificial light in film as opposed to natural.

2. Script writing- In our preliminary, I feel we failed to communicate our story to the audience accurately so they are left confused as to the ideas behind the film. To counteract this we plan to think carefully about how we will communicate with the audience through our script, ensuring the story is clear.

3. Framing- When filming we plan to place more emphasis on the positioning of actors within the frame, looking at using techniques such as rule of thirds and extreme close ups to emphasise focus on particular characters and help the audience identify with them.

4.Filming & Editing imporvements - When editing our preliminary we used very straight forward editing techniques which made the overall film quite uninteresting. We also added poorly carried out techniques such as jump cuts that were added for the sake of using them rather than to add effect, this made the film look disjointed. In our main film we plan to incorporate different filming techniques for effect and emphasis on certain events.

5. Team communication- As a team we had several disputes which resulted in disagreement rather than resolving the problems. In the future we plan to have discussions and make agreements within the group.
