Preliminary exercise learner response

 WWW: This is a good preliminary exercise that meets the brief. The music is effective and communicates the genre appropriately alongside some tension. You’ve also got the volume level of the music spot on which is not easy (keeping it low so it doesn’t drown out the conversation). I really like the opening close-up and you also have some nice character movement and camera movement to keep the audience engaged in the conversation.

EBI: The major aspect that holds this back is both characters having the same mask on – it makes it very difficult for the audience to work out what is going on. In addition, the early lines of dialogue are not very clear (due to background noise and perhaps the mask obscuring it too) so this makes it difficult to get into the scene for the audience. It’s a great lesson for the real coursework and I’m sure you will learn from this for the actual production.

LR: What have you learned about filming and editing from this preliminary exercise? What will you change or do differently for your real coursework production over the next three weeks?

I learned how to use adobe premiere pro and editing clips on it , I learned how to add sounds and use camera shots to keep the audience interested. I learned that its best to film in a quiet place so you can hear the dialogue and  will make the conversation clear between the characters. I will also change the characters is costume so they look different.
