Evaluation Q7 - Kyle Quadra

Looking back at your Preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

When looking at our Preliminary task, I feel that we have greatly developed our skills in film production.


In the Pre-Production stage, all the planning and setting up takes place before the actual production and filming begins. This would include the script, the filming location, the costumes and actors. It was very important that the Pre-Production was done to a high standard and efficiently, allowing the production to begin and making the filming process easier. From our Preliminary Task, we had learnt how to plan for a production. This time as we had more time to plan and develop ideas, the planning was more successful.

In the Production stage, film production begins. Due to our Preliminary Task, we had experimented with various camera angles and so when it came to filming, it was easier to determine what sort of shots we should use in the film and we knew what to do and how to do it, therefore we were more efficient compared to our production time in the Preliminary Task, when we did not have much knowledge of the equipment.

In the Post-Production stage, the editing and finishing touches are completed to finish and produce the film. The Preliminary Task gave us the chance to practice our editing skills so that when it came to the main project, we had some experience and knowledge on the editing software. In the editing stage, we pulled clips that we had filmed into the software, where we modified and cut clips to add into a final sequence. Continuity editing was used to construct a film that the audience would feel as if it was real events taking place, and this was an important factor in making our work successful.
