Evaluation: Question 7) Looking back at your preliminary
task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full
product?
W: What was the preliminary task and what were its
main aims?
The preliminary task was a task that we did in order
for us to see if we have any experience in making a product. We had to record a
thirty second clip about anything we want and edit it using final cut pro.
Doing the preliminary task helped our group choose what roles each member will
take in our final product as we saw who was good at what.
W:
Identify 4 things you are now better with and more confident with doing in
terms of filming and editing
Filming:
When we were filming the preliminary we were not getting angles or sizes that
were effective or significant in the scene instead it was just simple recorded
footage. For our final product we used effective angles and sizes such as low angle
to show superiority of a character or close ups to show facial expressions
Filming:
The area that we filmed our preliminary task was quite dark and this made it
difficult to see everything that was on the screen. For our final product even
though it was meant to be filmed in low key lighting we made everything as
clear as possible by filming with flashlights and changing the brightness of
the scenes on final cut pro.
Editing:
The editing we did for the preliminary task were simple straight cuts and
nothing else this made it ineffective and boring. For our final product we used
a lot of different dissolves and fade to colours this made the final product
look more effective.
Editing:
another thing we did for editing in the preliminary task is that some of the
edits didn’t make sense it would go from one angle to another completely
different angle which didn’t make it look that professional. This did not
happen to the final product as we made sure that we didn’t do that.
I:
Compare 3 images of preliminary to final product.

The pictures
above show a big change from the preliminary task to the final product. The angles
were better the effects were better the lighting was better and just overall
the final product was bet
Personal
reflection:
Did
you make a successful thriller and why?
I think
we made a successful thriller because I feel like the thriller opening scene
was filmed well edited well and I also think the sound was good as well. I also
think my thriller was successful because the feedback I received was generally
positive and people who had seen my thriller said that they had been scared
while watching it which I was aiming for.
What
did you most enjoy?
I enjoyed
filming and editing the thriller film because when I was editing I liked experimenting
with the effects I could use and while I was filming I tried different angles
to see which was the most effective
What
could be improved?
I feel
like the middle part of the thriller was the weakest part of the thriller film
as I feel like the sound is not as good as it could have been and I also feel
that the editing seems weird in that scene
What
are the main things you have learned over the whole process?
I’ve furthered my knowledge of editing and how to use a
camera I also learnt new tricks and techniques on final cut pro.
