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

From completing the preliminary task, to filming and editing our short opening of a film, I feel that I have learnt a lot when it comes to editing and camerawork.

From using the editing programme Premier Pro, I have learnt a lot more on editing as I have been able to learn how to cut videos into making them smaller and piecing smaller parts of videos together, to create a longer video. I have also learnt how to add in different video and audio transitions, such as cross dissolve effect to make the film look more exciting and eye catching. I have also learnt how to lower the decibels of sound and also how to higher it to create a more synchronous sound effect.

With camerawork, I have used a lot more different shots, such as zooms when using something important in the film. I also used a low angle shot when the bully in the film was walking across a room, I used this shot to make her look more powerful and in control.  in the preliminary task, there wasn't many different shots being used. Whereas in our film, there were more shots such as close ups on important objects and low angle shots when someone more powerful is in the shot.

I feel as though our planning has improved as when we was going to film our preliminary task, we didn't do much planning. Whereas for our final film, we had done a lot more planning for it in order for it to be successful. For example, we planned out how we wanted our characters to dress and the costumes that they would be wearing, we also planned out the storyboard and script of the film too.
