Prelim Task

This was my prelim video.  We used different camera angles to create effects in the clip, such as behind the shoulder shots of the girl to allow the audience to position themself in that situation and feel the characters vulnerability as she is being forced to do set of the alarm. The close up shots of her face also allow you to see the expression in her face clearer. The close ups of the boy makes him seem more intimidating as you can see the anger in his expressions. We also shot the door handle opening and closing as we thought this would make the clip more interesing and add a greater affect to the tension when the boy left the room.
When we edited the clip we used FinalCut Pro so we could make the shots flow through to each other without any repeated action which would distrub the flow of the video. To ensure this each shot had to be cut at the right second. The program was hard to use at first but after a while it became easier and we discovered ways we found easier to edit.
This task really helped me understand how to use the camera properly and put everything i learnt in the camera lessons into action.
