Finished Product of Prelim Task

After editing the footage with sounds and titles, our group's final product (video) was shown to our class teacher and has now been completed and our group's empitus can now be switched to looking towards our horror movie

Preliminary Task Filming

Having filmed all the footage required for the Preliminary Task, my group and I downloaded and edited the camera footage during the next 2 lessons. By using the Mac Computers, my group and I added sound and titles on top of the edited footage using Final Cut Express.

Wrong Turn

During my last lesson, my class and I watched the opening to the 2003 horror film Wrong Turn. Whilst watching the film's opening we made notes about the use of visual and audio elements to help create a feeling of tension, suspense and fear.

Particular attention was paid to what camera angles were used during the opening. These included many establishing shots, along side crane shots, used to reitterate to the audience that the protaganists are isolated and are defensless to antaganists. This was very useful to setting the scene when my group and I come to film our horror opening in our foundation portfolio.

Filming

Now that I have been shown how to use the cameras, my group and I went out during our lesson and filmed our preliminary task, as previously mentioned. After filming, I was shown how to download the footage off the camera onto the Macs using the iMovie program.



To make sure that the filming for the preliminary task was exactly how to the group intended, we went and refilmed the footage, and then downloaded it, ready for the editing that will take place within the next couple of weeks.
