Evaluation - ( 7 ) Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel that you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product.
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel that you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
Our preliminary task , was a continuity sequence. Before this , we learnt in class the different types of shots /cinematography there are when filming. And after this is when we got given the continuity sequence to create. However , for this we never done no storyboard or planning , we just looked at the task and went ahead and tried to do it from our minds. This was very time consuming , as we didn't have down a plan which we could follow and from this i learnt that organisation is key to filming. If you have a plan , then from there and if you stick to it, then everything will be far more easier.
And i took that into consideration when it came to our coursework on Apartment 6.
In addition , on the filming side , this task helped us gain confidence about filming as no-one in my group as done filming before , especially me. Therefore , this task gave me experiences in filming and learning all about the different shot and angles , and giving them a experiment and seeing which looks good and which doesn't. As in the lesson , we learned that different angles and shot can portray message or the audience , like a close up and low angle looking up and some , signifies they are powerful . To learn and experiences all this angels , gave myself and has whole our class , confidence in that we are capable of doing this. With the filming too you got a chance to know how to use and flip camera and tri pod, for when it comes to filimg , you will know and recognize what you need to do.
In addition , the editing of the sequence helped us learn the basics of final cut pro , for example the cut tool. I learned how to use all these tool to help shorten video clips and different effect such as fade in and out , for effect to change shots and i felt i was good in this and therefore that why i done the editing for the title sequence .

Typography
After our typography lesson , our next task to do was to start looking into typography designs for out title sequence.
What we wanted to look for was a font to look 'Distorted ' to go along with the genre of our film and possibly handwritten effect to link in with the 'Mothers Diary'. And bellow are the designs we have liked and was founded on 'www.dafont.com'
This font is bold and stands out. It has distorted effects , with the font fading color in places but also , has very slight white gaps which give of a effect its like being scratched and the font is old as the ink is ruined suggesting the horror genre of our film. In addition , the font gives off the idea that it his hand written and the way its been written in a messy looking font , gives off a negative effect about who has written it and that 'Apartment 6' is possibly haunted or something bad has happened as the font gives off a negative thought it about the apartment before you even seen it.
hOwever , the downside was the number '6' it never had the number in the same font. So this totally ruined the font. On the otherhand, if this was the chosen font , we could use a similar 6 from a different font just for the number.
in this font , it look handwritten , which can help with the link to the mother diary , however , we feel the font is too think and doesn't give off a good scary / creepy effect which we are looking for.
