Evaluation question 7: Look back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

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.
