Overall from the experience I have learnt the basics of editing like how to add filters, sound effects etc. I also picked up on the importance of different camera angles and shots. Along with skills like evaluation and Mise en Scene skills
The prelim task was very basic. It used no special sound effects only a backing track. It had no special effects on it apart from a single filter and the credits where very boring. Although it did work very well we had to improve our game to create a final product.
Prelim:
To create a horror atmosphere sound effects were a must. They immediately hook the audience into the film which we had to use in our final product although they weren't used in the prelim task. Lighting was also a big difference between the two, in the prelim it was bright but quite musky, however in the final film it was darker to create the effect of late afternoon-early evening. In my opinion this worked very well and was vital to get across the initial idea of a horror film.
