When comparing my preliminary task to my final project, I feel I have made massive improvements. This is shown in all areas - camera, mise-en-scene, editing and sound.
In pre-production, we were able to use a lot longer time span to plan for our final project. This was very beneficial as we could create a storyboard and gather audience research to create the best piece possible. Moreover, we could spend time thinking about costume, props and location; something we couldn’t do for the preliminary. Something that was also important is that we didn’t have the experience of creating films before our preliminary so we didn’t really know what we needed.
In production, for our preliminary task, we were getting used to the camera and had to revolve around the three specific shots - match on action, 180 degree rule and shot reverse shot. However for our final project, we could widen our scope and use such shots as a birdseye view, point of view and side angle. After studying in the lessons, we were able to include various aspects such as the rule of thirds into our final piece, to improve the quality.
In post-production, as with pre-production and production, we were given a lot longer time. This meant we could find the perfect music, filters and create high quality production logos. As with the production, in the preliminary task, we had very little experience with the software so we couldn’t utilise it to the best quality in the short amount of time. However this practice was very helpful for our final project.
The preliminary task had a limited time scale which meant scenes weren’t as poslished as we would have liked, the sound quality was poor and there were parts the crew could be seen in reflections. In contrast, our final project was well rehearsed, slick and well made.
