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


During the progression from the construction of the preliminary task to the construction of the opening to our fiction film I have learnt a lot within several areas of film making. I believe that the most notable of these is working with a camera, as before I started the course I had never filmed anything before, and am now confident to discuss and describe different camera shots and angles. Another area I feel I have progressed in is that of a greater understanding when creating a product in this medium. Before I started this course I didn't understand the sheer amount of work and effort that goes into creating a two minute sequence let alone a two hour film. I feel that this has helped me progress both as a producer and a consumer or to use a better word, prosumer. I also think that planning played a far more vital part when filming our opening sequence as we did very little planning when filming our preliminary task. I also learnt from this that you can never do too much planning for something like this. I also feel that I have become more proficient in the use of technology, both with the editing software and with the cameras when filming.
