Evaluation Task 7 - Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full production?

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

 

After filming my preliminary task, I feel as though I have learnt a lot of new skills in media. Firstly I have learnt  to use the different camera shots and rules, for example I know how to incorporate the 180 degree rule and how to use shot revers shot when two characters are having a conversation. I also knew how to use different camera shots such as; high and low angle shots, close ups, mid shots etc.

From my preliminary task, I extended my imagination, as this video was very simple and very boring. I added in lots of effects such as diegetic and non diegetic sounds, I added in lots of titles and connotations, I added in lots of film transitions so that my film ran smoothly.

Not only did I learn new things and improve on the filming and editing on my film but I also learn to use new software. For example using Premier Pro was a new experience for me, although I struggled to get to grips with the editing at first I soon began to become confident with the software. I also extenuated my knowledge and skill making from my preliminary task when I started uploading my video drafts to YouTube, this is something I hadn't done before and found it very helpful when I needed my film link.
