Things that i liked overall about the prelim :
1) The first few opening shots.
What i like about it mostly is that you can tell that this girl is outside and maybe in a park as you can see the sand box .
On the second shot you can defiantly tell that it's a park , the reason why i liked these few opening shots was because unlike the 'Collateral' remake it isn't blurry , it establishes the location and we used different shot types . (Wide shot - Mid shot and mid close up)
It was a necessary that we included a match cut , we agreed that when doing the match we wanted to show that the girl was a ghost . The match cut included her walking then disappearing and then re-appearing. However when editing began we soon realised that a man appeared in our background that wasn't meant to be there. We had to keep that clip as we didn't have any other that we could use to replace it with.
As you can see the third shot include the man which makes our video and match cut less believable . For our thriller we are determined to make sure no one of thing who isn't supposed to be there is in our clips.
Before we set out to do our prelim we were given a set of instructions that we had to follow :
"A character opens a door, walks into a room, sits down opposite another character and they share a few lines of dialogue."
With our prelim we have our character opening the park door, sitting on the swing opposite another character and they share a few lines of dialogue.
The dialogue we decided to use was -- " Hi my names Zaiba what's your name? "
We had the ghost girl character not respond to add the spooky effect. In which Zaiba responds with "hey you know it's rude ..." She doesn't finish the sentence because she then realises that the girl ghost has disappeared.
All in all i think my group did achieve the targets set out and improved a great deal since our 'Collateral' remake.
