Prelim Evaluation: What we have learnt from making the Prelim.

What have you learnt from the making of the prelim?

As a group as we said before we think our camera understanding has improved very much even though mazlum was our key camera-an. Watching him record certain shots such as the difficult over-shoulder shot has put confidence in our groups recording ability. This prelim has highlighted the importance of mise en scene as we realise how much it helps in creating meaning. Also our editing proved to be crucial in the end as it not only took out some recording mistakes but also it created and gave the sequence some sort of meaning and tension.

However, once we have filmed the prelim and started editing I have realised that we have broken the 180 degrees rule, it is good that we have noticed as we will not break it again during our filming for our real thriller, I have also learnt that it is not as easy to film in very small places to get the perfect shots therefore we will have to work in a very spacious locations where we could work comfortably.
