Final preliminary task

This is our final preliminary task which basically had the same story and location as our previous one but we've improved on a number of the things we did wrong the first time. For example the first shot is a mid shot which is better than before because now the audience are more likely to focus on the awkward smile between Shaiane and Tayler. Shaiane's hand tapping is shot from further away and the feet in this one look less out of proportion although I prefer the lighting in the last one in this particular shot. The tapping continues on into the next shot and we also shot the shot/ reverse shot at equal angles this time. This time Shaiane also says "I heard this interview's really intense" which makes the audience anxious about it and builds suspense. We then cut to a close-up of my hand scrolling down a list of names. The close-up disorientates the audience and therefore creates suspense. We chose to cross the names off instead of a tick or nothing at all to suggest that they could have been eliminated. The eerie music adds to this suspense and it's build up matches well with the story plot. We shot me from low angles to make me look powerful and scary and we didn't show my face so that my identity was mysterious and suspense was created. We could've executed this better in regards to the shot where I say "this way." because you slightly see my face; it could've just shown part of my body and my hand showing the way. I like the POV shot because it's at a slight high angle making Shaiane seem vulnerable and because she asks "is it this one?" she is seen as unaware which could have connotations of being so about the whole situation which the audience are aware of it potentially being dangerous. While closing the door I look directly at the camera; by acknowledging the audience behind Shaiane's back it lets the audience know that I'm definitely about to do something bad to Shaiane. We chose to blakc out after the door being locked to leave what happens next to the audience's imagination. I edited the lighting at the beginning to look warm because at that point Tayler, Shaiane and the audience are are completely unaware of what will happen next. The mood immediately changes, when we cut to the list of names; I changed the lighting to blue-ish and desaturated which makes it look negative and scary.
