Evaluation Question 7: Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progressions from it to full product?

Looking back at my preliminary task I feel I have gained a lot more knowledge from then until now.
Our preliminary task challenged continuity, the 180 degree rule and match on action. Having the chance to explore different ways in which I can use those conventions meant that my main task was more professional, looked better and also saved some time. In the preliminary task I also got to use the editing software for the first time, being able to understand that meant that it saved a lot of time when editing the main task and also made everything run smoother. This made it look much more professional and has a greater effect on the audience compared to the preliminary task. For the main task I had more knowledge, I knew that I had to focus on everything that was in the camera shot, not just the main characters or objects.

The preliminary task also gave me the chance to experiment with different camera shots and angles, which gave me knowledge on what were the better shots and angles to use in our main task. Without the 'practice' of the preliminary task I don't think the main task would of ran as smoothly or as efficient.
