Preliminary Task and Evaluation

During our filming process of our Preliminary task we learnt how to use 'Adobe Premiere Pro' which is the film editor we will use for our actual film therefore doing this gives us the skills to edit our film. we also learnt how to add transitions such as dip to black, also sound effects so we searched for bell sounds as if a lesson had finished which fits school setting. We saved and added these into our Adobe timeline, this helped us develop key knowledge which we will need in order to edit our film. While filming, we had to make sure that we filmed the right way round as in our preliminary task we used portrait rather than landscape which is what a professional camera would be as that's the same as professional film makers would use. Furthermore, we also cut the clips and edited the sound length to suit the narrative so the audience are engaged - therefore making them short and snappy without losing the audience's concentration. also we tried to add a bit of humour by using Ed as the teacher.We also learnt how to add the titles onto moving image We added in titles (Owl Productions and the name of the film) . We used different camera shots which we also used in our film as we found they worked well and would fit our theme of horror (shot-reverse shot, match on action shot, tracking shot and quick cuts) this was helpful as it made our preliminary task more technical and professional and gave us insight into how our film and what angles shots we could include to get the best effects. 

However during filming our preliminary task we encountered problems such as dialogue, as we didn't check it was loud enough against the background sounds as it was filmed in lesson due to our lack of time outside of lesson because of commitments in and outside of school. therefore for our actual film opening we need to ensure that any dialogue we choose to include, is loud enough to minimise background noise.
