7. Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

during the last year i have learnt alot since the start of our preliminary task to the finish of are main project.we used the school cameras for our perliminary and soon decided to change to a better high quality camera ( Nikon D90 SLR ) firstly increasing are knowlegde of the film industry itself and secondly learnt how to use a camera and all the basic camera shots,angles and movements so are final production can be of top standards . a good example of this is when we produced are perliminary exercise as we had to include 3 key camera angles ( shot/reverse shot, match on action , 180 degree rule) this was to test are knowledge and get to grips with the technology we was using ,here is a print screen of us using the shot/reverse shot as this is the only video we created with digetic audio

Another good example of camera skills we have learnt is during the juno task how to use match on action so the entire piece flows when shots cut and to maintain continuity, this was made possible by editing using "adobe premier pro". This technique could not be used in are final piece as there was no dialogue between characters. we used simple camera movements like panning and more advanced like are POV shots in are final production final using the 180 degree rule, this was used throughout all of our productions so characters and object just didn’t flip around on randomly on screen.

during our time on the course we learnt how different colours were used for different meanings, this is shown in our final production as are main villian is dressed in black for evil and the girl is holding a red handbag to alert danger. music is also important to the opening of a film as it sets the tone for the film. we used "possibility" to create a creepy eary feel to the production. We have used film editing software to create a final piece and used techniques like slow motion to create enigma.
Overall i have enjoyed my time on the course and got to know my group through the time. i have learnt how to meet deadlines as its crucial to teamwork and I’m proud of the final production
