there are a number of notable differences when you compare our preliminary exercise with our completed 'thriller opening' for the film 'Decus et Tutamen.' firstly is the contrast between the two acting examples, with the acting featured within the preliminary exercise being comparably poorer and less successful than the acting in the thriller opening. this noticeable alteration of quality is also applicable to the camera work and the successful use of a diverse range of camera shots and angles. the preliminary exercise uses very few camera angles and shot types, unlike the final thriller opening which uses a much wider range of shots etc. yet again there is an obvious contrast in the quality of editing with the thriller opening being ultimately more successful and demonstrating greater continuity despite its hallucinogenic demented format. the preliminary exercise enable us, as a group to develop the skills we needed to produce this much better stronger text. we learnt about the importance of continuity editing which gave us the confidence to explore and develop a pervasive editing format whilst still demonstrating a recognizable format and time line in regards to the pieces continuity. the use of dialog also displays a clear difference in quality between the two film texts. in the preliminary exercise we simply kept the audio in sequence with the video, however in our finalized product we removed sections of video and overlayed the audio taken from the now absent video over over parts of the piece increasing the sense of continuity and helping to explain the storyline to the viewer. overall the thriller opening 'Decus et Tutamen' has been influenced and assisted in its progression by the production and editing of the preliminary exercise and is a very successful piece.
