Evaluation question 7

Since my preliminary task i have learnt a lot as that was my first time using the camera and editing. When planning the preliminary task we never gave it a lot of thought and looking back i think that we scratched the surface of what we could have done but learning from those mistakes i now know that planning is key to what the movie will look like, the better the planning the better the movie. For our second project we took around 2 weeks preparing details and knowing what we will do before shooting. For the preliminary task we never went out to see sight and places to shoot and again we learnt from those mistakes, we got permission from various places to shoot and we dedicated a day for scene searching.  The roles where well thought out this time for the full project as we got two characters that will represent out film best. When it came to the shots in the main task we took time in the storyboard to get the basic shots we were going to use however when we went to shoot we used far more than we planned which was good as we thought on the spot.

For editing our preliminary task was a first time experiment, we had never used a mac or i-movie and with the limited time we had we couldn't go into detail. In the full movie we took the time to chose a better program and learn the programme before we used it, with the help of the tutorials we got the hang of the project under a week. The tutorials and the teachers helped us with the different programmes such as live type, we made an effort with the title sequence in this task however in the preliminary we never took the effort to do so. The feedback for the main task helped as we took it seriously and listened to the feedback and it made our work better but in the preliminary task we never had the time to comment on the feedback.

In the preliminary task we never worked as a team because i was mostly left to do the work while the others left me and so in the editing suite i was never shown the video but in the main task all three of us listened to each other and got a film that suited all three of us, we were all happy and never had an argument.
