RESIT- evaluation 7

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



I have learnt that having more research and knowledge of the subjects and different tools that can be used as we had about 10 weeks of research and planning before our final film but there was a limited amount of research we could do before our preliminary task so having this extra research means we can further add to the film. I also feel that I have learnt how to use allow the software more efficiently as using blogger at first was slower but improving the amount of time planning a post can increase other time spent in other areas that may require it. Furthermore, the variation of shots used means that I can send more messages through using different techniques, this means I can make the audience think and see things and make them be aware if what is happening in the scene. I have also learnt that editing is important as an overuse of transitions in films can make them look not as good to audience and I learnt this from my preliminary task as the transitions between shots were rushed to meet the deadline. However, I did learn something after the final product and the preliminary task which was that it is better to use a tripod or something stable to film rather than handheld as it made the film look tacky but I couldn’t change this for the final product also as a tripod wasn’t available to use as it wouldn't fits in the car i filmed large amounts of my film in.
