Throughout my Production I improved a lot of things from my preliminary task to my main final opening sequence.
For my main opening sequence I used a point of view point shot of the main character while he was waiting for the toast to pop out from the toaster. I didn’t use a point of view shot for my preliminary task which I could have done but it would have been pointless merely because there would be no need for it. Also for my opening sequence I chose to slow down the camera effect towards the end in the murder scene to give it enigma, I did not do that for my preliminary task simply because it would have been a pointless thing to do as it wouldn’t have changed any of the effect or opinion it would have on the viewers. However I regret not using the 180 degree rule for my opening sequence which I did use for my preliminary task, I should have used the 180 rule because it gives a good and clear understand on the characters positioning to the audience.
For the editing in the preliminary task what gave a good effect was I used match on action of the character opening the door, match on action is a way for the audience to recognise to see what is going on with the character, about their moves and roles in the scene. One other thing I didn’t use for my preliminary task was slowing down and speeding up footage, but later on when I was doing my opening sequence I learnt how to use the slowing down effect which gives a good effect depending on the scene and what effect you want. For example for my opening sequence I used the slow down effect in scene when the murder was holding his knife in hand when he was standing next to the bathroom door. I regret not using Match On Action for my opening sequence when the murder took out his knife, I think I would have been a great move have done that because it would have build up some suspense and enigma in the scene. I chose to slow that footage down purely because it gave the effect of ‘what might happen next’ to the audience, also with the music drags itself for a few second which helped to bring suspense and enigma to the sequence.
In the Preliminary Task I chose not to use any Sound effects because the storyline was exactly building up to anything from which the viewers would find interesting.
From my preliminary task to my main opening sequence, I saw that my opening sequence was much harder to produce. It was harder is many ways, for example the filming itself took five days where on the other hand the preliminary task only took a day. The editing me several days to edit because there was more footage on the tape and I want particular effects and elements to make my opening sequence work well. It was reasonable difficult to find the right set of music to work with my sequence, so at the end I chose the one that fitted the best with the thriller film. Also it was more to find different fonts for my title so that it would fit in well within a thriller film, where on the other hand for my preliminary I couldn’t or didn’t have a many option.

Production Journal
In the first week it more or less just all about getting ready and making a start. On the Monday we made a list about what equipments and props would be need for Final Production. On Tuesday we made a made a list of the different shot list we would need to achieve our aim. On Wednesday we talk about what the Risk Assessment, what can go wrong and what we need to do stop and prevent those things from happening, such the danger of the knife, Weather etc. On Thursday went around looking for good location to film our opening sequence. On Thursday we looked up our potential target audience and tried to plan our opening sequence so that it could relate to our target audience.
For the second week on the Monday we carried on with the audience research as we were not finished. On Tuesday we went out and tried to look for potential actor and actress who would be good to play in the two different roles. On Thursday and Friday we started o film our final piece.
On the third week back we carried on filming from Monday to Wednesday. When we finished off our filming, on the follow next two day, Thursday and Friday we started to edit our film.
In the fourth week on Monday and Tuesday we were still doing our editing, the filming and editing took quite a while because we were trying to get certain effects to get our target audience interest.
From Wednesday of the fourth week throughout the fifth week we just did our Evaluation with a day off on the Tuesday of the fifth week.
It was extremely important for us to take the Wednesday in the second week and Tuesday in the fifth week off purely because it would help us to relax and not let work over stress us.
