Opening to a Thriller and Preliminary Task








Our given task was to create a piece of media developing and inspecting continuity of the piece. We were to ensure that all scenes were fitted well together and everything flowed evenly and well done. We were to practice using cameras and different types of movements and angles to film with. We also had to practice using the editing software and to make sure our piece had perfect continuity.


We decided to shoot a piece that would involve using different types of angles and movements to help the piece be more effective, we also chose a genre that was linked into what we were studying; thriller. The plot therefore had a dark and unsettling essence to it. The lighting we used was therefore dark to add effect.


Evaluation of Continuity Piece;



I think that throughout this piece we managed to use a good variety of different shots and angles including a Canted Angle and a Tracking Style Shot.

The music that was used during this shot, i think added a great atmosphere and made the scene seem more tension-filled and peculiar.


We tried to use as little lighting as possible to make the scene more darker to enhance a thriller and scary-like effect, however this came across as to dark lighting and therefore makes the video incredibly hard to watch and define each moment in detail.


Overall, i feel we managed to use a good variety of shots and angles, we also managed to reasonably edit the video and gain good knowledge of filming and editing for future projects.


For future projects, i will use the skills that i learned from making this piece such as the use of the camera, use of the editing and use of lighting whilst creating new projects.

I will learn from the mistakes we made from this piece such as the poor lighting and am now able to make better development and quality decisions when creating new pieces.
