Our preliminary task went reasonably well. We came up with the idea for our storyline quite quickly, and soon had a few rough lines and a brief storyboard including the different camera shots we were going to use.
Whilst filming, we found it quite difficult to capture Adam walking down the corridor, and we had to do it quite a few times before we had the camera at an angle we liked. The rest of the filming went smoothly and was finished within a day. However, when we got to the editing stage, we came to the realisation that we didn't have enough material to work with. From this, we drew the conclusion that in our next project we would need to film a lot more, so that we would be able to play around more, and have a greater selection of shots to choose from, instead of having to settle for what we had.
Something else we liked from our preliminary task was the idea that you don't see the 'fortune teller's' face throughout the film, only her hands. This creates a sense of mystery and suspense, which is exactly what we need for the opening to our thriller, as we need to hook the viewer into watching the rest of the film. Consequently, we decided to take this idea and replicate it in our next project, either with a character's hands, or another body part, e.g feet, eyes etc.
