Zainab Morafa-Thriller Evaluation 6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?






The hardest concept for me to grasp for me was making our thriller opening have continuity i wanted to make sure that it gripped the audience and in order to do that i had to learn about various shot types such as the 18- degree rule, and over the shoulder shot and shot reverse shot, after watching endless hours of TV trying to pick up on the shots they had used I realized that the 180 degree rule always made the conversation between the characters a lot more continuous and many other shots that i thought we could use in our opening. there where sometimes where the camera and I seemed to disagree and we had to go over many shots over and over again just to able to get them right then in the end we didn't even use them. we used a Canon handheld Camera the hardest shot for me would have been the shot of Elizabeth in the toilet because it was a very small space i was on an higher angle than her in order to make her look inferior but also i had to make sure i kept my hand steady so that it didn't break the continuity
of the shot.




The panning of the Close Ups of each individual was an idea suggested by Taylor firstly i thought that it may be hard to do something like that but after hours of persistent attempt's we finally made it work and it fit perfectly into our opening. we used iMovie to bring all our clips together and cut all the handles on our clips our so we had a neat film, using iMovie wasn't to challenging because i enjoy the editing and cutting of shots   also the concept of iMovie wasn't that hard to grasp.
