Evaluation 7

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

When comparing the main task to our preliminary task youc an immediately see that we did a lot more thought into it. We did a lot of research into the issues raised in the main task and made sure they were accurate. We spent a lot more time editing on premiere elements to make sure we had created the correct atmosphere.

After completing the preliminary task we got some feedback on how to improve for the main task. From this we learnt that we needed to improve the lighting, and have a stronger genre and plot.

The main task required a lot more work than the preliminary task, but in a sense was easier as we were not restricted to the type of shots used (180 degree rule, shot reverse shot and match on action) and we were restricted to the story lines, as it had to involve a coversation whilst sitting at a table. For the main task we were free to use any shots and could have any plot we wanted.

For the main task we were much more professional than before. We used a tripod to keep the camera work steady when needed and made sure the acting and editing was done to a higher standard.

We made this film based around something we would enjoy watching, meaning that the audience would be a similar age to us.
