PRELIMINARY TASK

This is our first attempt at a close up and in my opinion was of a decent standard. This skill was very useful to me as in the main task we used a lot of close ups

This was the 180 degree rule that I learnt, a very critical but basic skill that was very useful technique to learn. However we did cut off the characters eyes, I have since learnt from this and my skills improved.

This was our attempt to pan our character, in my opinion was of a good standard but the framing could have been better. This preliminary task was very useful in improving and learning skills.

ARLINGTON ROAD REMAKE We then created a remake of the title sequence in Arlington Road. This was very useful to me as it gave me an idea of thriller title sequences and helped me to develop ideas for the main task I also learnt more about developing and arranging titles, this was a very important skill I learnt that helped me produce the titles for the main task.

This task also allowed me and my group to discover new angles and shots, also to develop creative skills and prepare us for the main task.

MAIN TASK

By the main task, I did feel I had enough knowledge to create interesting titles. Definitely though the experience of creating Arlington Road remake, it helped me on the main task. I know I have improved since the preliminary task because before I had no prior knowledge and now I feel I understanding making titles.

We used a variety of shots in our titles sequence. However we did focus on close up because it created the tension we wanted. After creating Arlington Road I felt that it helped us because we have more knowledge and experience when filming the close ups in our main task.

We made sure to include a variety of angles in our main task, the preliminary task helped us understand how to film these shots and angles and though practice we produced much higher quality shots than from Arlington Road and Preliminary task.
