Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Preliminary Task



Main Task



I have learnt a lot from the preliminary task and this meant that my main task was much better than my preliminary task. I learnt more about the editing and camera work and this made my main task better because i used more variety in the camera shots and movements that i used and the editing techniques as well.

In the filming stage of the preliminary task i didn't really know much about the cameras and equipment that we used and this meant that it probably wasn't as good as it could have been. we used all of the tips we were given in class to make our preliminary task. There were such things like the 180 degree rule and the match on action that is in the video. But overall we didn't have great variety of shots that we used. In the editing stage of the preliminary task i had never never used the editing software before and it was a challenge for me at first because i didn't know what i was doing. but i did have some prior knowledge of some editing techniques because i had done some before but i had never used that software before. In the main task we also did some sound editing that we didn't do in the preliminary task this made our main production look better and more professional that the preliminary task and this was something else I learnt to do as well.

I learnt a lot about the mise-en-scene as well and this improved my main task as I gave my film more meaning because I added props and other stuff in to the scene that made my main production more meaning full and had some enigmas in it. This contributed to the story line of the whole film because there was things in the opening scene that didn't really make sense but they would have if I could have made the whole film.

Overall i think i learnt a lot from my preliminary task that made my main task look much better than it probably would have done if i hadn't made the preliminary task. This was the advantage of doing it because it gave me the appropriate skills that i needed to complete my main task to a good level.
