On a more
personal level, Ii think that our preliminary production definitely
wasn't as good as our real production in the sense that overall we
simply worked better as a team, we knew how to use the
equipment properly, especially the camera and tripod and I developed far more
advanced skill levels with Pinnacle Studio HD15, our editing software.
The jump between the two was tremendous but I think the biggest change between the two was the sound editing. Whereas in our preliminary production we did nothing to the sound except add
a few effects, for example when the 'superhero' was sliding up
the stairs, in our real production in nearly every shot we cut, dubbed, mixed and added a variety of diegetic and non-diegetic sounds and music to create the right atmosphere for our film. This enabled us
to have it exactly how we wanted it in the sense that we imported
different songs and then mixed in diegetic sounds such as heavy breathing and screams. I think this is the area where most of the skill had
developed but we also improved our visual editing with better match on actions, graphic matches and use of slow motion and jump cut effects to show Molly was drugged. We also used lighting and colour effects to create a chiaroscuro thriller effect and to indicate our flashback narrative structure.
Furthermore, I think that as a team we worked harder because we had time limitations
due to the fact we were filming in the dark.
