My thriller group and my prelim group consisted of the same people. I was with a friend so it made it more convenient to shoot footage at each others houses. Also working in a group of two meant that we could communicate and include both of our ideas into the opening. It also helped us know how we work as a team when shooting footage, editing and planning. After practice from our prelim task during the whole production of our thriller we were organised, collaborated and managed the production well. Doing our prelim task before our thriller really helped my partner and I learn how to use the editing program to a certain degree, so we knew the basics when it came to editing our thriller. 
Our prelim also helped us gain confidence with using a wider variety of shots. We were asked to do shot reverse shot in out prelim which we also included in our thriller, we also used a lot of close ups to show facial expressions which involved zooming in on the video camera. An example of close a close we shot in our thriller is above on the right. When planning our thriller we did a lot more research compared with our prelim task. For our prelim task we drew a rough, basic storyboard with short details which guided us through the storyline of our prelim task. Whereas in our thriller planning we did more planning, for example, longer and more in-depth storyboarding, exploring how thrillers worked and different techniques used, watching beginning of various thrillers to look at sub-genre, watching previous years to get idea and tips This was useful and helped us in our production of our thriller by following through all our planning.
