Evaluation 7- Looking back at your preliminary task do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

Throughout the process of making the preliminary task and the going on to making our final 2 minute opening we made many improvements which helped us to make our final product the best it could be; we learnt a lot of about different features while filming out preliminary task. I am going to be talking about the problems we made while filming our preliminary task and why we made certain changes to our opening film cause of these problems we experienced.

   The first problem we noticed while editing our preliminary task was the way we had shot the different angels and how they had affected the continuity of our film we found that we had not got the conversation shots in the same angle which mean that the two scenes jumped between each other and the match on action didn’t work probably; we therefore was more aware of this while filming our final piece and filmed all of our conversation as one take and then changed to the other side and done the same thing so that we could cut the different shots while filming and it meant the we didn’t have any jumping between the different shots. Underneath you can see us pointing out and noticing out mistake and then watching out final piece where you can see we have not made the same mistake.

  Another feature where we made a mistake in our preliminary task was when we was filming Rhia’s conversation scene the top of her head was cut off during the filming we however did not notice this until we came to editing part this meant that we had to keep this in our preliminary task; we therefore made sure that we checked all of the shots we filmed before leaving the filming setting so that we knew all the shots we had taken were the correct ones and we could use them effectively in our final piece. We have shown how we progressed from our preliminary task to our final piece through not making the same mistakes with the camera angles and shot in our final piece.

Throughout our final piece we used a lot of transitions from different shots to make our opening flow better from scene to scene; we first used transitions when making our preliminary task, as we wanted to show how the scene has changed from the different areas. This helped us to know how to use the different transitions and to know where it was appropriate for us to use them in our final piece you can see the different transitions we used in our final piece and preliminary in the photos below.

   

    In conclusion I feel that we had some technology problems while filming our preliminary task which we identified early on which meant that we were able to improve our work for our final piece which made sure we were making improvements throughout and making the most progression that we could make during our media course and it ensured that we made the best product we could make.
