Firstly I have learnt how to add music to a piece of film and help draw attention to a particular character through the use of music. In my preliminary I didn't use any music and used only one sound effect. Especially in the beginning of my thriller, I used music to set the scene and to create an impression of the bad character. Whereas when our bad guy entered the scene in our prelim we had it in silence.
Secondly, I have also learnt how to make a scene brighter and to keep the continuity of the brightness through out the sequence. As in one of my prelim shots its very dark and there is a shadow against the wall, making it look very low budget and unprofessional. Whereas in my thriller, the lighting is much brighter and the light is continually bright throughout the film, making the scenes better within terms of continuity and visually more appealing.
I also noticed the another improvement by using more challenging and 'out of the box' shot types. In my preliminary I used standard boring shots. But in my thriller I used more 'point of view' shots to highlight how someone was watching her and other shots of her, taking off her shoes helping to build tension and highlighting that time that was passing as she was getting undressed.
In my preliminary I used the zoom on the camera. This made the sequence look very amateur and shaky. Again, making the tension fall and which made it seem unrealistic. As the human eye is unable to zoom. Therefore in my thriller we used close up shots and edited them together to make it seem more realistic.
Throughout my thriller we used far more props and worked much harder on building a character to help influence the judgements of the audience. We used Helena to portray the 'blonde bimbo', 'goldigging' stereotype. Whereas in our preliminary we just picked two people at random. Therefore I have advanced with my skills in casting to find someone who looks more the part ad will fit any stereotypes.
