Looking back at the preliminary task, what do you think you have learnt from the progression from it to the full task?

The preliminary task was crucial for us as a group to be able to develop and learn new skills for our new production. We learnt various new skills, such as 180 degree rule although we did not really need to worry about this due to there being no scenes of shot reverse shot. This would be another technical term also learnt from filming the preliminary task. This task helped us hugely getting many things correct and for practice mainly, guiding us to success and not failure. As a group together, we all had to learn and use a wider range of shots in our film as otherwise, not using interesting shots and a limited amount only would of consequently turned into our film being boring and blunt.

However, the preliminary task also showed us that Sound can do so much. As the preliminary task looked so uninteresting adding sound to our final movie made a massive difference. It seemed to liven up the atmosphere as the film was very upbeat and fast flowing making the shots look more stimulating to the audience. Trying to make a sound track on the computers was such hard work to suit our film, so in the end our media teacher gave us a CD that was not copyrighted and it suited perfectly.

Sound is a huge aspect in the production as it attracts peoples attention with it being loud and lively so we needed one similar to this to attract the right audiences. Looking back now on the preliminary task and our final production, we are able to see a huge leap in quality in contrast with one another with the final film having a much higher Eminence.

In conclusion, we made mistakes in the preliminary task but we believe these hiccups helped us in order to make a good film. This was due to the fact that upon making several mistakes and noticing them we can then make a greater and more powerful film avoiding all the mistakes we made before hand.
