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


In our preliminary task we were simply instructed to experiment with different camera angles we had just been taught. We used various angles in the preliminary task such as close-up, extreme close ups, match on action, mid shots and long shots but when compared to the quality of our final project it looks very amateur. I believe this is because we didn’t use any effects to enhance the shots in our pre-lim. Therefore in our pre-lim there are some scenes where the lighting has been greatly affected causing a yellow/green smudge blurring the subjects face. Whereas with our final project, not only did we edit out these nuisances but we also planned appropriate filming times to help reduce the light flares. I think we realized the importance of organization and preparing with our final project and recognized that a good quality scene takes time and practice. We focused on filming everything in the course of an evening to ensure the continuity flowed perfectly so we could prevent any mistakes suffered in the pre-lim. We also took advantage of all the equipment on offer by the media department, such as tripods and spot lights because we noticed that some of the scenes in our pre-lim were unsteady.
