Looking back at my preliminary task, I have learnt that it is important to use the best sound quality, as when I shot my preliminary task I was using my phone, instead of a camcorder ,which I used for my film opening. This is because when I was talking to my teacher in the classroom, I struggled to hear what the characters were saying, with the constant tinny sound that I had.
I had also learnt how to use iMovie properly for my final product, as when I made my preliminary task i used iMovie on the iPhone, which lacks the ability to add sound affects, and change the affects of the sound and video, like the mac that I used for the film opening, so I have learnt to always use the best technology available to me, in order to have better quality in my film.
From my preliminary task, to my thriller film opening, the main thing I learnt was the effectiveness that music can have on the atmosphere of my thriller film opening. When watching my preliminary task back, the lack of music stood out to me, and it felt incomplete. I feel that if I ever did my preliminary task again, I would have music at the start, when I am on the laptop. This could have introduced the setting as a work environment, and not have left it with the slightly boring feeling that it feels like now. Unfortunately, for my preliminary task, I didn't know that you could convert music from YouTube into iMovie, using YouTube converter websites.
The use of props that I used in my thriller, compared to my preliminary task, despite being used for different things, are used in a more effective way. The knife used in my thriller, as an action code, is a powerful plot device, in shocking the audience. I feel like my preliminary task doesn't use props to the same affect, and instead, it almost feels like filler material. This is a method of audience engagement that I have learnt during the transition between the preliminary task and the thriller opening.
