Main Post 12.7 Question 7

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

Looking back on both my preliminary task and the main task I think there has been an improvement. 3 key points from then until now that I've developed and even improved on they would be the positioning of the camera, the locations that we filmed in and the continuity.

The positioning of the camera when filming the characters has improved from the preliminary task to the main task.

 
In my preliminary task the camera wasn’t at the eye line of the actors so it made the audience feel distanced from the action. From the picture on the left, it shows the difference in the camera position. You can see the improvement on the positioning of the camera in the image above.

The location that we used in the preliminary task was a small office which meant we didn’t have enough room to move around or position the camera correctly. For the main task we chose the location with the knowledge that we would need space.  

 
In our preliminary task we were given the task of making a 30 second film making sure the continuity was food, however I don’t think we succeeded in this. In our main task the continuity was a lot better and so I would say that has improved.
