Q.7 Looking back at your Preliminary Task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to your final product?

















above: 2 'two-shots'. left: PRELIM Right: Main task
Here is a print screen i have taken from the prelim task my group filmed, this shot was filmed as a wide-shot, this shows the two characters seated at opposite sides of the table having a general conversation here wan see everything within the mise-en-scene, this was used in our final product as in we used the same table shot. However we changed the camera angles in the final product so we shot an over the shoulder shot and noddy shot. The noddy shot let's you see the other character's reaction to what another character may be saying we used this in more of the dramatic spoof scenes in our final product.







2 Over  the shoulder shots, Left Prelim, Right Main Task.


Issues encountered in preliminary task:

The issues that we encountered were keeping the continuity whilst filming, improvising with a non-existent script!
also we didnt know all that much about the camera function's really. We also had to do re-takes for some scenes as we realized we broke the 180 degree rule.

Improvements made in final product:

In the final product we mastered the technique's of the camera handling! we sussed out the important camera functions, which buttons to use and how to use them. We also realised where we went wrong with the 180 degree rule in the prelim and figured out the best way to film without breaking it. This time we also had properly typed out script!

What skills have you improved upon or gained over the course of this project?

I have learnt how to use properly use the hand-held camera's aswell as the big professional camera's in the Tv studio, so i am now well informed of the different functions and best ways of filming the best possible shots at complex angles.
I have also learnt how to edit using Adobe Premier Pro, i know how to use the different tools on the editing programme for example the different transitions and how to apply them to the clip.
