The preliminary task was an experiment in helping understand the
skills we already have and the skills we need to develop. So in comparison to
our opening sequence we can see the contrast between the quality of the camera
work from then and now.
In our preliminary task and opening sequence we use an over the
shoulder shot, in our opening sequence the person who has there back to the
camera gives little clue to the narrative or any other characters, creating
this sense of mystery we want for our film.
In our preliminary task we see another character facing the
direction of the other person of the shoulder, so we have learned how to be
clever with shots and what works with what genre, so by not having another character
in our actual film we do not give any indication of the relationship that our characters
have other than he could be our possible kidnapper or maybe even police.
Also compared to our first task we can see we have use various
shots and this changes the dynamic and visual display of the story which will
help engage the audience more because it’s not as still.
