We learnt about the importance of continuity through the use of the 180 degree rule. We also now know that the lighting being dark makes the scene more thrilling. It was also important for us to understand that since one of the characters is a ghost and we were producing a thriller, the girl who dies in it had to be killed by surprise, because if the viewing audience knows exactly when a character to be killed, it takes the surprise (or thrill) out of the thriller.
Were there any difficulties?
Our first problem we encountered was finding the location. At first we planned on filming our preliminary task in the refectory but as their was too many people in their and as their was too much light we could not film it their. We found a classroom which had blinds to overcome the problems.
Another problem we came across was when we were filming the door closing by its self at the end we had to re-film it lots of times because we had to ensure that the hand closing the door was not seen. Furthermore the door did not close fully every time so also had to re-film it then.
The girl in our thriller was also smiling as I was pretending to kill her with her scarf, so we had to cut the shots where she was smiling a lot to solve this problem.
How we constructed our preliminary task in relation to the micro areas
- Dark lighting
- Shadows
- Mise-en-scene; props (scarf, book, desk)
- the location (dark and empty room)
- Camera work - Close up to show door handle, long shot to introduce character and location,
