Question 7 - Mrs Georgiou 3184

 Question 7- Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

The preliminary task was to prepare for the thriller opening sequence and to make sure everything worked.  The equipment included the camera, the tripod and the editing software (final cut x pro) which we used to finish the film.

 From the preliminary task I learnt how to use the camera and all the function on it, also how I should go about actually filming our sequence such as using particular locations and specific camera angles e.g. high shot. These interesting shot angles would make film much more interesting than if we just used a middle shot to shoot it all.  Finally I learnt the way that I should get our actors to act while on camera so they know what they are doing. While filming I learnt how to direct, and how to use the camera on location and to edit the film to its finished product. In the editing I learnt how to cut, crop, input videos and how to add music.

In all I knew what I was doing in relation to filming before I went to the filming location and had it all planned previously. This made the filming much more efficient and most of the shots went to plan. Although things such as weather and light did make things happen differently than we originally planned on thing such as lighting. The preliminary task also enabled us to use editing techniques which further improve our film to make it look more professional.
