Evaluation question 7 - Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

The skills that i have personally learnt from the experience of the preliminary task are mainly camera skills and improving on the shots that we previously took during the preliminary task. I noticed many of the shots we used in our preliminary production were quite shaky when put together in the production, therefore when filming shots for our final production it was my aim to try and solve this problem by mostly using a tripod and practising handheld shots to make them as smooth and fluid as possible. We also used a wider variety of shots to help create meaning & direct the audience and made sure we could edit fully and clearly for match on actions as well as using shots of shadows for dramatic effect.

Working on the preliminary task also gave me experience of working as a group and getting used to each others ways of working and different ideas inputs, this helped me in our final production because it helped me understand how each group member worked and how to work best with other people in my group.
