Preliminary Task



From doing this premilinary task I have learnt that when you are filming you have to remeber the 180 degree rule. If you do not use this rule then it confuses the audience as to where the characters are in the scene. One thing to make the editing easier is to film shots that that can transition into the next shot so it makes the editng seem more fluent and to minimise visible editing.

The results that I have got from this questionnaire is that most of the audience prefer to watch comedy, horror and thriller. The thing that draws the audience into the beginning of the movie is the soundtrack. The audience all believe that watching the tralier of the movie will make them more likey to go and watch the movie. When asking the audience if the main character dies at the beginning of the movie does it have an effect on them. The reply was that it does have and effect on them as they gett attached to the main character and that was the main reason for them to go see the movie as they are interested in the main character. When asking the audience if they like to know the storyline during the opening sequence the response was no.

This response helps us develop our ideas as it allows us to know that the audience does not like to see the main character to be murdered at the beginning of the film, so in our opening sequence we will not have a murder. Also from the response we are also able to know that during the opening sequence not to give the storyline away as they audience like a sense of mystery. Another thing that I have got from the response is that the audience enjoy the impact the soundtrack has on the movie, so we are able to focus on the type soundtrack that we use for our opening sequence.
