We used many more technologies in the final piece than in the prelim, because the prelim was shorter and less detailed. Our film required more attention to detail because it was meant to be a film opening, so had to be more developed than our prelim, which was just an exercise to get used to the camera/FCP etc.

We thought a lot more about mise-en-scene in the final than in the prelim, because in our final we wanted to get meanings across and to make it feel more authentic. In our prelim, we weren’t aware that it’s easier to edit with controlled, artificial light than with natural light, so in our prelim we used natural but for the final, we controlled the lighting.

We used more of a variety of shots in our final piece, because our final piece was longer and made up of shorter clips, whereas our prelim was a simple conversation. We also use camerawork to infer meaning and dominance in our final (such as low angled shot of a well to infer Esther’s dominance) because we had learnt more skills by the time we came to film our final piece.
