Our group had to prepare a two minute preliminary task, using the schools basic cameras and editing software. After preparing our storyboard and synopsis we began the filiming. Only two out of the four of our group members acted in our preliminary making it easier to prepare. Being such a short task to prepare also meant that finding a location, preparing a script and actors wasnt much of a challenge, however this is something that must be considered when we begin to prepare our main task.
The black screen and white font at the beggining helps to set tension before characters are even presented to the audience. Elises character suddenly appears from the trees giving an element of surprise when first introducing her as a character to the audience. Tension is built through little shots of elises face which is commonly used in films to build up the tension we wanted to get across. This lack of facial shots builds tension as leads the audience to believe that something is going to happen, and already begins to conotate that something bad is going to happen or that elises character represents something negative. This tension is broken when dialogue begins between the two characters, and they are introduced using more warm fonts, suddenly presenting the characters with a name breaks this feel of tension that the audience have been presented with, as they are gradually introduced to the the characters. Overall i believe the introduction of the characters and general camera shots could have been imporved in our pre- lim.
