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

2. Preliminary exercise

3. The difference between our first preliminary exercise and our product is clear. We
have been a lot more adventuress in our final media product and we’ve all
developed our techniques in many ways. For example I believe that my technique on
camera has changed and improved over the course of filming.
I also believe that when it comes to filming due to the fact that we had a lot more
time and there was a lot more potential when it came to creativity. Due to this we
were able to be a lot more ventures with our shots. For example using POV hand
held shots.

4. Briefs
For our preliminary exercise out debrief was pretty simple and limited.
It was a continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door,
crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with
whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue.
This task should demonstrate-
• match on action
• shot/reverse shot
• the 180-degree rule.
Our main task had a lot more room for creativity due to the ambiguous nature
off it.
The titles and opening of a new fiction film, to last a maximum of two minutes.

5. The preliminary task was the
first time I ever used the type of
camera and the editing
software used for out film,
Premiere pro CC.
Therefore I learned how it
worked and what we could do
with it in the process of
creating our preliminary
exercise which obviously
helped me when it came to our
main product.

6. For both our preliminary task and our main project we used match on action,
shot/reverse shot
the 180-degree rule. All something that we have now as a group become very
practiced at doing.

action shots in both
our main film and

7. Visual effects are something that we have put in our main task that we
hadn’t used in our preliminary exercise. This is a skill we have all as
group developed that has helped our main product look really good
and really get across the feeling we wanted it too. Our aim was to make
the viewer feel eerier and this is something we got across. This is
something the music we put in has also helped to do, Again something
that we didn’t have for our preliminary exercise.

8. We could of improved some aspects of our two minuet film in some ways. We
are still new to this so there are some things we could improve with time and
becoming more practiced. When interviewing some people on our film the
thing that they have said the most is the sound quality isn’t great in some parts
and the camera is a bit shaky at times. If we had more time I think we could of
re-filmed those parts.
