Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

From our preliminary task we learnt that before we could participate in filming we had to make a plan of exactly what we wanted to film. We discussed and wrote down what genre we wanted to do and what themes it included. We decided within the group that we wanted it to be of thriller genre with psychological aspects. This accounted for our original sequence, however as we chose to change it due to the shots not producing continuity we decided to add biblical aspects as well as psychological.

We then discussed the locations we wished to use. Seen as we wanted biblical aspects in our film we chose to use a chapel to film our first couple of shots. To broaden the sequence and add more locations we then agreed to use a rural area with lots of space. By using a rural area it conveyed freedom but ironically in this case: the lack of freedom due to the voices in the protagonists mind. The rural location was very far and so proved difficult for us to organize specific times the whole group could get together.

As mentioned previously, we encountered a problem surrounded the continuity of the original shots, leading us to start filming new shots. This wasn't beneficial for us because it required a lot of time. Although, we did keep certain shots the same and only changed the context they were in. We also kept a similar genre a psychological thriller which would engage the audience as it urges them to begin to understand what the psychological aspects are about.
