In the preliminary task firstly the storyline was not very good as it did not allow the audience to know what was happening and what it was about this then further did not keep them interested in the film. It also did not link in with the title and this confused some of the audience that the film recieved feedback from. From this in the final task I learned that the film needs to have storyline which would target the audience and keep them interested and in this case the issues of loneliness, derpression, bullying and an overdose were all linked into the film making it all very dramatic withnin the first few minutes.The title also had to link in with the film which it does and also show interest the audeince. The use of the title we used was so that it looked more effective to the audience and would be a very persuassive and attracting title to be used in the viral marekting and distribution of the film in film feestivals and social networking sites.
I also learnt in this task that it is nesscecary to have a steady and smooth shot which is done by using a tripod. In the preliminary task we never used a tripod and this made the film very shaky and not flowing correcttly. This was picked up in the audience feedback and so we decided to use a tripod which worked very effectively with the final task. In the part where the girl starts to run the camera is shaky however this merged i well with the fact she was running and this meant we did not have to reshtoot it.
Another feature which i did not use in the preliminary is the use of credits and positioning of them and the title. In the preliminary task the title was at the start and there was no credits but in the final task i added a number of credits not only to pause the shots but because in some we had continuity so we split it up. The title compared to the preliminary task came at the end and this made it more effective as it makes the audience watch the film further because of the clifhanger of the girl taking the pills. The codes and convention of a gloomy and dark film were also useed such as th titles againist black background to emphasise the colour.
Another was used the camera features we used and the variety of shots. In the preminary task we did not use a variety of shots and this did not allow the audience to stay intrested. I learned how to do smooth zooms which would work correctly, high shot and the shot reverse shot. I also came up with the idea of having the mirror reflection which at first i thought it may not work because it was right next to a window and the lighting may be a problem but with a bit of editing it worked really well. This was something i was very proud of have to achieved in the film.
I also learned how to edit more effectively in a film, from the preliminary task we hardly did any editing except from a flashabck with a black and white shot. In the final task i used a variety of edits such as the blur, still image, shot reverse shot, the fades in and out of characters, the audio sound when the ghost appeared and the music which i added a fade out to which was not used in the preliminary task. These were a big effect on the audience because the blur and still image meant they knew it was a ghostly person and not human.
Overall from the prelimnary task i maintained the detailed plaaning needed in a plan with the storyboard, call sheets and production scheldule. I learned how to use Adobe to create more effect to a film and also the importance of them. Also i leanrt the use of a starigth forward storyline but must keep the audience intrested.
I really enjoyed making this film and completely understand all the hard work that is needed in film production!!!
