Evaluation Activity 7

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

I started media not even at the start of the course having never really filmed anything before or used any editing software so I guess i learnt alot in the preliminary task and then applied it in our full product.

For our camerawork in our preliminary task we used cams phone and realised that using an iPhone camera is not the best idea and made the quality worse when looking at when using close ups the hand is stretched and looks abnormal but in our actual film we used a proper camera and when we used a close up shot it looked normal and wasn't stretched or anything. So we learned that using a good camera is very effective.

In our preliminary task and our real film we stuck to the 180 degree rule but we progressed a little bit as we made sure that the shots were clearer and that it wouldn't shake as much as it did in our preliminary task.

We also improved our match on action due to the improvement of editing skills that I really needed to improve the editing skills as i've never used iMovie before trying to edit the preliminary task so when we used match on action in the preliminary task is was synced up and really didnt look good at all but now we can edit better we managed to make the match on action look effective and better overall. You can see that we had improved significantly after the preliminary task because to be honest the preliminary task was not that good and the actual film was so much better overall in terms of techniques used and skills gained through the preliminary task.
