Comparing my preliminary task to my main task thriller is a huge comparison because they are so different and obviously my thriller is much better. This is because of many reasons for example the actors i chose, some of the actors i used in my preliminary task were not up to the standard i wanted. This meant for my thriller i only kept this actors i wanted and replaced the others with better ones, for example Eddie Gripper. I also tried to choose the actors which were most reliable. Managing my actors became more of a challenge when we did the filming in oxford, this is because there were many of us and oxford is a big place. I also had to be particularly careful with my equipment, this is why i brought a friend along to help me carry it around amend look after it whilst i was directing/filming. Making sure everyone was at the location at the right time was also quite a challenge as we had to get the train, so i booked the tickets in advance and made sure everyone was there in time. This is because for the preliminary we missed our train which meant we had to change the filming location. 

 

In my main task i did make a few mistakes which was inevitable, one of the major ones was I left the tripod in one of my shots. In order to fix this we had to go back to the filming location which luckily was near the school and re film the shot. I also had a few problems with the technology when it came to editing, this is because i am still learning and trying to master everything. One of the most challenging things was the title screen at the end. In my preliminary task i just added text over the shot, however i didn't think that looked very good which is why i did something different for my main task. I also improved my main task by using royalty free music unlike my preliminary task and managed to fit the sound effects in with much better timing. Because in my preliminary i task i miss timed the sounds for a few things so i made sure this didn't happen agin.

 

One of the things I decided not to do was go to the London to film my city scene, this is because both creative and practicality reasons. One of the reasons are London is too crowded to get most of the shots i wanted, also you're not allowed to film everywhere in London which may have caused problems. I also decided not to add a voice narrative over my opening sequence, this is because i felt it got rid of lots of the tension and didn't make the film as engaging.
