Research & Planning - Last Year's Work

Today, we have been looking at previous candidates work to gain inspiration and also good elements as well as bad elements. I have decided to blog these to help me improve my work and benefit my own production:

•  Ensure that the editing style is matched to the genre. For example, if the genre is horror, make the production seem like a horror. The editing process is extremely important.
• Use a tripod for stable camera movement when necessary. A handheld camera may be used if necessary.
• If producing a documentary, include statistics and interviews. If producing a horror trailer, use close ups to create tension.
• Use composition techniques such as the Rule Of Thirds. Look for frames within a frame.
• Use music that is suited to the genre.
