Natalie and Sophie's Preliminary Task Log.

Preliminary Task - Post-Production.

The post-production side of a preliminary task is the editing of the video and the audience feedback. After shooting the video we took our camera to the editing suit and loaded all the footage onto the compuer. We had 3 minutes of footage, a lot of clips we didnt want to keep. In the final cut we had 36 seconds. In the editing we used a cut from the girl walking to the house and then trying to unlock the front door and then another when she drops her keys. We used cuts to create the shot reverse shot effect when the girl and her mother are talking. To close the sequence and show the title we used a box close. 

We used a variety of different shots to show our understanding of filming with cameras. Within the first few seconds we use an establishing shot (ES) and a long shot (LS). We use the 'ES' to show the auidence the setting of the task. The 'LS' was used to introduce the character to the audidence and let them decide what time of character she might be. The next shot we use is an extreme close up (ECU) of the girls hand as she goes to unlock the door, we used this because it was suitable to use within the match on action. The 'ECU' then changed into a point of view (POV), this helps the audience feel a conection with the character. The close up (CU) of her mother is used as it shows her emotion and how she feels about the situation. Then there is a mid shot (MS) of the girl, we felt this shot was suitable as it shows that she is distant from her mother. This was suitable as she is still drunk from the night before.
