Preliminary Task-
My preliminary Task is too do a Continuity exercise. This will help me because it will be the first thing I have made so it will give me experience on using the equipment and planning time.
Main Task-
My main task is to produce a opening sequance to a Thriller Film. I will have too plan my time. So i can be able to reasearch, film, edit etc.
The task is seperated in too three sections these are Pre-production, Productaion and Post-production.
Pre-prduction is when you reseach and plan your film. I will also develop any of my ideas. Also start doing scripts then storyboarding.
Production is when we start shooting, doing the lights. We will also find the actors and do the script.
Post-production it when we start editing. Also doing the special and sound effects on and also adding music.
