Mistakes made in my pre-lim
Something that we encountered in our prelim task was continuity errors. For example, the two shots above show the drugs in different hands, however we didn't show the change in hands. Therefore, we were especially careful in the main task to keep continuity as we realized that a lack of it takes the viewer out of the film world.
Another flaw with this scene is the set. We didn't clear the room as well as we should have and therefore the viewers would have been taken out of the world of our film.
Additionally, we filmed in front of a window. This meant that the camera left a shadow on the shot which was not very professional.
Areas to improve
I feel that the thing we focused on most in our main task to improve was the continuity.
New techniques in the main task
One thing that we wanted to incorporate in the main task was the use of fake blood. This would have meant we could shoot someone and have a realistic looking wound. However, because we didn't practice using this during our pre-lim, we didn't get the consistency right and it didn't look realistic.
