Micro-Macro Strategy

At a micro, technical level, I observed the conventions of continuity for my preliminary task. I achieved this by ensuring that the appearance of both the characters and the scene itself remained constant. I had to approach this while contending with the different camera shot changes. Which included a match on action shot, a shot reverse shot and the 180 rule shot. I ensured the maintanace of continuity by keeping essential elements used in the filming constant when needed. This meaning that i kept the costume, dialogue, lighting , props, music, narrative and perfomance fluid and constant when needed.

I believe we observed the language of film well because through filming and editing I was able to produce a realistic enough piece of motion picture to apply as a tangable frame of work to be published for viewing and be quality enough to gain an audiences response fit of positive feedback.
It carried established characters and settings which I believed helped help the audience understand better what was hapening in each scene, who was involded and gave them a reason to find interest in the piece. Hence, why I think I met the grammar of the edit in its simplest form and slightly beyond that.

From the conventions of making a thriller film described as the micro elements - it has added up to appropriate and specific representations of the genre.
This means each genre has its own appropriate shooting material. The reserch before filming helped me study the thriller conventions with help from the micro-macro strategy. Then the process of producing dialogue that will be recognisable to the audience as a semblence of the genre also helped. Lastly, the filming and editing should also be set in the genre's usual particulars in terms of appearance of the film and editing job
