Preliminary task

Up to this point, we have been watching thrillers in class in order to become familiar with conventions of the genre. The films we have watched include Memento, Usual Suspects, Rear Window, The Birds and Pacific Heights. We are about to start filming our preliminary task and have already created an initial story board and have begun practising filming these shots. 

Our first day of filming the initial story board went fairly well. However we did experience some lighting problems inside the building; filming outside also proved to be a challenge when we had to re-arrange our shot due to the positioning of the sun. We also encountered a problem when we couldn't use the tripod; this lead to us having to hold the camera by hand which meant that our shots were not steady. Finally, we were please to have filmed all three shots planned in the short time given.
