EVALUATION 7- PRELIMINARY. From the start of our preliminary task we have progressed a large amount, ideas which we came up with in that video have been slightly altered as the months went past as we thought that the shots we came up with before starting our filming were to hard to do. the story line of our opening sequence at the moment is completely different to the preliminary which we made near the start of the year, the preliminary was set in a school classroom which was supposed to appear as if it was an interrogation or meeting room the footage shows two characters sitting down talking about a supposed package deal that has gone wrong. Not only has the story line changed from an agent to a young working class man who's being haunted by his supposedly dead brother who got caught in a house fire when they were younger but the mood and genre of the film has changed, the reason behind this is because the preliminary was mainly based upon action however action genres are too hard to create on a low budget since they consist of guns, explosions and chase scenes. As an alternative we chose a thriller genre due to the reason that thrillers are less intense instead they build tension through mystery. as you can see below the preliminary was set in high key lighting were as our opening sequence now is set in low key to create an unnerving mood to the audience. From the preliminary we barley used adobe after effects to add in sound effects or an interesting title sequence, however in our opening sequence we used more editing skills to make the titles and footage better than the preliminary. also we used adobe after effect to incorporate a radio over the top which related to the content being shown at the time, furthermore we used after effects to change the length of shots to help build up a climax such as the nightmare scene when we used fast paced editing in order to do so.
