Q8: Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learned in the progression from it to the full product?

Below is our Rough cut view:

We used our rough cut video as our Final Thriller opening because there was some complications with our group at the beginning of the project. Because the day we filmed the preliminary video, we thought we would roughly edit it to gain some skills for our final movie. However, some members of our group refused to do work and because we were so short in time we had to use the preliminary video for our final movie. From this I gained organizational skills and i also learn't that i need to have a back up plan just in case something goes wrong. Also, I've learned to work alone, without depending on teamwork and also be able to work under pressure. Overall this helped me plan a bit better .

Comparing our rough cut to other professional movie opening sequences, I learned that There shouldn't be too much going on at the start of the movie as this confuses the viewers/audience. So in our opening sequence, we carefully chose the scenes and created an interesting beginning for a thriller movie. We've also learned how to split the screen and show two different point of views/stories going on in different places. For our Final movie we've also added some credits and title sequences. 


This coursework was a very useful experience as I've gained some personal experience as well as gained some professional filming techniques.
