Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learned in the progression from it to the full product?
Preliminary Tasks & Other Clips
Following a series of preliminary task, i developed my acting skills and was able to act like a professional in the Four Walls title sequence. In the first preliminary task, it involves two people playing cards which is myself (Thao) and Kim and our objective was to build suspense whilst playing cards. We had a lot of outtakes because we weren't used to acting in front of the camera so it was a little uncomfortable. However, on the day of filming, I've had a lot of practise on acting and was able to get into to character's personality and pulled it off in the end.
As for the camera work, the first time we filmed was the two people playing cards and if you watched the clip above, you can see that there was a scene where we tracks around the table. it was very unprofessional as we didn't have the Dolly for it to track round smoothly, instead we handheld it. Furthermore, whilst we was filming, one of our groups member was in the shot as she was unaware we was filming.
When we was filming Four Walls, we tried to film a scene where we tracks down the corridor but it was unsuccessful because the location where we filmed has an automatic lighting so it will turn on if it sen cor something moving. Furthermore, we had a few problem and one of it occurred in the second preliminary task as we for got to check if the camera was in focused.
Overall, I have learnt a lot in terms of acting and how to control mi self and not to laugh otherwise, it will take time for the work to be done quickly. Also, check if the camera is in focus before filming.
