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

I think that i have learnt a lot from the preliminary up to our final film. We have gone from using only a few different shots, to using different lengths and a variety of high angle and low angle as well as getting good match on action parts. Also we have learnt how to use Adobe better, which has improved our editing. We have also got used to how the camera work and how long we need for all our footage to be uploaded, so this means our time management of how long and how much we need to film everytime. I have also learnt how to hold a steady shot and film in very cold weather conditions. I have also found that speech when filming is quite hard to pick up so we had to practise a few times with using the microphone and without. I have learnt a range of different shots to use and how to use them if they have a meaning, such as the angle shots, when it is looking up at someone they have more power, Close ups show important objects and long distance/establishing shots show location and setting. I have learnt how sound can play an important part at showing genre for example the music can change moods of the footage instantly.

Music does a lot to the film and also the speed of the shots makes the film more entertaining. We were also more creative in our shot choices and how we filmed it, for example jumping over the camera.

This is the videos of our Final Film and the Preliminary Task to show the difference in the films we produced.
















I think there is a difference in the quality of what we have filmed. We have improved alot since our preliminary task which we filmed afew months before, but we have done even better since our very first attempt at filming when Me and Simon spoke about football.

Here are some screen shots of our Preliminary Task:

I used this shot because, it was one of our basic shots. This is me walking down the corridor so shows location and character.

This shot we used to show the new location and my character meeting with a new one, it shows that the scene is mysterious because it looks as though someone is watching from the trees and shouldn't be doing so.



This shot is a good one to analyse, because we use this type of shot in our final film, we have two characters and them both at two different depths.
