I learnt that by using a tripod we could get a much steadier shot. This meant that when we came to editing our film the cross cuts and continuity editing were much better. However we didnt use a pan shot in our final film as we thought that it wouldnt fit in to the whole editing and had no where to put it. Maybe if we had chance to film more then we may have been able to put in somewhere. We decided to use a range of shots and I worked out how to make a zoom much slower compared to the preliminary task. One other thing that I have learnt from the the final task is how to make the film flow more. By using more transitions and effects it made our film look a lot for professional than our preliminary task. With the help of the preliminary task I learnt that the positioning of the camera is an essential to get a good shot. When editing I learnt that the film would also look a lot better with continuity editing.
Over all I think that our final task was a lot better than our preliminary because as we had learnt many more skills.

Preliminary Task
This was our preliminary task where we practiced the 180 degree pan. A 180 degree pan can not go past a certain point otherwise it doesn't look realistic. It was also another good chance to have a go at filming and editing before we got on to our main products. It allowed us to see what angles looked good and what didn't.

This is a photo of the 180 degree pan rule. It is a rule to create continuity as the camera doesn't go across the invisible line which prevents the audience been disorientated.
