Skill/knowledge/application	Preliminary task	Feature film opening
camera Using a range of camera shots Using different camera angles, for what effect? Using camera movement (pan, zoom, tracking) for different purposes	In the preliminary task we didn't use much of a range of shot types with the majority being mid shots or close ups - this was so dialogue was clearly  seen. There was a very minimal amount of movement and there were hardly any angles shown.	During our actual film opening we used a much wider range with long shots and extreme long shots, along with the mid and close up shots. We also used some more movements such as a pan. Angles were used more effectively such as when Aiden is walking down the hall.
Framing (what is in and out of the shots)	No thought was put into what was being included in the shots throughout the video. Because of this, there may be some things in the background that we would like to change if we could have filmed again.	we ensured that everything in the shot was meant to be there. This was done by careful plannng and positoning of the camera of what we wanted in the shot. This was to make sure that nothing out of the ordinary was in the back ground at any point which may hinder the realism and/or the final product.
Mise en scene Lighting Costume Props Settings	In our preliminary task not much thought went into any of the things that come under Mise en Scene as there was no props involved at all. The setting and costumes had nothing to do with what was being recorded.	A lot more planning was put into things such as the costumes which all fit our teen angst genre (casual clothes), as did the props such as the football which is something associated with teenage boys. The setting was also mainly based in a school which is very stereotypical for the teen angst genre.
Mode of address Way actors speak, words and sentence structure Gestures	Not many words were used during the preliminary task so there is not much variation in voices or use of gestures. The mode of address was probably the most basic as it was just one person speaking to another.	We used 2 different narrations over our opening with one sounding quite sad and the other slightly more happy. This showed the contrast between the two characers. Much longer sentences were used compared to our preliminary task which worked well as it is a voiceover. Our mode of address was also more complex, as it was to the audience and to the characters in the film. Gestures were also used in the football scene to show fear of one of the characters, which adds humour.
Editing 180 rule Match on action Shot reverse shot Cross cutting Jump cut Juxtaposition Transitions Sequencing effects	Not a huge amount of editing was used during the preliminary task, the only main ones used was the 180 rule to ensure that the audience did not feel at all confused, and the shot reverse shot to show each person speaking. There was no use of transitions as the film was very short and they might not have worked as there were no jumps in time, or changes of setting etc. If transitions were used, they may have been irrelevant.	During the actual film opening we used many more types of editing, for example we used many more transitions such as a crossfade to show the passing of time. During the whole of the scenes of the characters walking, we implemented match on action. We also used shot reverse shot to show the ball about to hit Kate, this also used the 180 rule so the audience knew what was going on. A lot more sequencing was also used to ensure the whole opening made sense.
Use of titles Size Font Positioning transitions	No titles were used during our preliminary task due to it being so short and may have seemed irrelevant.	Many more titles were used during the opening such as for the main title which says 'Opposites' we used the colors red and blue to connote the two opposite ends of a magnet. We also used a lot of different colors as well as font sizes to catch our target audiences attention. The font was sans serif as it shows that it is light hearted and that our film is not meant to be taken seriously.
