Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel yo have learnt in the progression fro it to the full product?
I think I have made several large improvements when comparing my Preliminary task to my final project. This can be seen in camera angles and shots,Equipment knowledge , research and planning.

Preliminary task:
Camera angles and shots/Production
One way I feel I have improved since my preliminary task is my knowledge and understanding of camera angles and shots. One camera shot that we tried to focus on during out final project was the use of point of view (POV). We were not able to use this specific type of shot during our preliminary task as we lacked the skills and equipment in order to successfully carry it out. However, through research such as looking at examples from student made films on you tube and vimeo, we were able to know what place into the frame and really understand the effects we can create with having POV and a wide angle shot e.g. Lens flare creating a glare effect. However after having multiple lessons focusing on Production elements on our final project e.g. learning how to position the camera to achieve a clear shot reverse shot i felt much more able to transfer these skills into the actual production.
Research/Pre-prodcution

Equipment

Pre-production
During the preliminary task we were tasked with featuring certain camera angles and shots such as match on action and shot reverse shot this led us into editing where we were tasked with continuity editing. For the final project these skills were extremely useful. Editing with final cut pro made the process very easy as provided us with the tools necessary to achieve the shots and angles we wanted. In the preliminary task we were very short on time however for the final project we had a significant amount more which I think is clear in the editing standards of both.
I feel the final project was very successful at completing the task and at using everything we had learnt from the preliminary task, however, I think we could have spent a longer time researching the props and costumes that needed to be used in the final project.
