When we first began to prepare for out preliminary task, we were introduced to a wide variety of new things based upon camera shots, mis-en-scene and sound- although we were beginning to become familiar with these, we only introduced to the basics. The camera shots were merely;
Tracking Shot; Moving the camera backwards and forwards, and in/out.
Side Ways Tracking Shot (Crab Shot); Moving the camera from side to side.
Tilt Shot; Simple up and down on an axis.
Zoom; Moving in or away; same effect as tracking.
Arc Shot; Full or semi-circle around character; increase intensity of narrative.
Crane Shot; Camera attached to crane, moves up and down
Panning; Camera mounted on tripod and moved from left to right.
Since then we have been educated into knowing many more shots than above, these include;
- Crane shot (establishing shot)
- High Angle
- Low Angle
- Depth of Field
We have also learnt how the camera dictates exactly how we see things, this had to be considered when planning for the main task in order to make it successful and meeting the criteria of the horror genre.Since our preliminary task, we have been introduced to the use of sound, such as diegetic and non-diegetic sound- this could have been included in our opening, however we only used non-diegetic sound.
When completing our prelim task, we learnt to edit using iMovie-which was relatively easy, but when we began our main task we had to learn to edit using Final Cut
- at the beginning this was proving do be a difficult task to learn but we eventually learnt to use it correctly and effectively as it has made our opening what it has become.
