Why was the main task more difficult than the preliminary task ?
Preliminary task
We had to closely replicate the shots from 'Lost Highway'. This is an example of the replication.
Lost Highway
This is the clip we had to copy and make our own recreation on the Lost Highway
Final Product
We had to come up with out own shot in this scene so I decided to use the for ground and the back ground as a part of this scene.
How did you research your preliminary brief ? Why was your task research better ?
Above is the only research i had done for my preliminary task, this is because we only had to replicate the actuall video. We did not have to come up with our own plot, concept, ideas, music etc.
Where as....
In my main task we had to do a lot more research.
During our main task project we had to analyse title sequences:
We also had to show our understanding of each frame in a title sequence:
Music was a very important part of our title sequence as this told the audience how to feel and what to do at that moment in time. Therefore we had to do do our music research in depth.
For example a strong brass piece of music will connote that the movie is to do with heros, as we assosiate brass to bravery and authority.
How did you plan your preliminary task ? Why was your main task planning better than that ?

What was advice for improvements of preliminary task ? How did you make your main task video better ?
Ambient noise- This is because during the filming our extra laughed, which took the audiences attention away from what was going on.
Error with shots- When filming we had broke the 180 degree rule, which had an effect on continuity.
Below will be an example on Ambient noise and the 180 rule
Where was the 180 degree rule broken ? (character 1)
The camera was on the character 1's left shoulder. And in the next shot the camera was on character 2's left should. It should have been on the right shoulder of character 2 or vise verse
