11)    Filming Matroshka:

We filmed a scene of me picking up a matroshka from one angle and then the angle changes when I pick the matroshka up and when I twist it and open it the camera focuses on my hands

We used the 180* rule so that the perspective doesn’t change for the audience and so that they won’t get confused of where the characters are standing

22)    Editing Matroshka:

The editing sequence for the Matroshka sequence was made to flow very smoothly, the transitions between each scene makes the scene flow smoothly, the first time we filmed the scene we noticed that the sequence flows at a fast pace with how the camera angles change to show a different part of a person in the sequence, to reveal their facial expression and for the story to flow through such as when the camera shot shows us the ‘matroshka’ being passed it shows continuous editing and when the camera angle changes between the face turning to the right we can see that it tries to show a mysterious character description of the woman. The camera angles does though change in a fast pace, we could have slowed down the way we filmed the sequence. This has thought me that everyone participating in the sequence either filming or acting has to make sure that the sequence should flow as smoothly as possible and that everyone knows that if a scene speeds-up/slows-down everyone acts as the script tells them to in order for a smooth transition.

The second time we had less camera transitions but the sequence flew smoother compared to the first because it had a quick transition between the scenes and when the ‘Matroshka’ was given to the other person the transition was very accurately done making the scene flow at the same pace. The facial expressions follow up of what is being represented, a doll being given to another person who has probably never seen a doll in his life.

When I’ll be editing my thriller I will try to use as many camera angle shots as possible to make my thriller seem more professional and so that the audience could feel as if they are not just watching a thriller but also participating in following the story.

Since I now know all the skills in order to film my own thriller, I personally will make sure that my thriller will follow-up with as many of the camera shot/angles as possible.
