Question Seven Evaluation

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

I feel that I have progressed a huge amount from when I started media and recording my Prelimary task compared to now. For example, the differing amount of camera angles that I am able to identify and use, compared to the simple ones that I was using at first, they were extremely basic and shaky. But now I am able to use a range of close-ups and I am aware more of how we can move from shot to shot effectively and I also included things such a mid-shots, long-shots and pans. These shots may still include a small amount of shakiness but it is of very little quantity and is barely noticeable. The lighting was where my group and I struggled when it came to our filming process and it even lead to us having to re-shoot the whole of our opening titles again with brighter lighting. But because of this we then learned how to edit the lighting with Imovie and this allowed us the set the tension within the scene that we preferred to have. The music that we had in my prelimary task didn't really suit the film itself and was only actually played at the beginning of it. Whereas if you compare it to the soundtrack that I used in my opening titles you can see a huge difference, the music matches the film perfectly and sets the right amount of tension at the right times. Within my prelimary task, we used next to none of the transitions that were provided for us, which made my prelimary task look of poor quality, and so were the actual titles of it, we just used the ones that were provided for us. Whereas if you compare that to my opening titles and transitions of my film there is a huge contract. The transitions are all well timed and in the right places at the right time so that my film does not look jumpy and the opening titles are all of matching font and suit the genre of the film incredibly.
