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

For my preliminary task I created a short clip that consisted of various basic camera shots. These shots were the following; long shot, close up, low and high angle shots and extreme close up. I used the close up shot to focus on the boy.What I Learnt? Throughout the filming of our preliminary task I feel that I learnt more about the equipment. Although I felt more confident with the equipment. Having seen the outcome of our preliminary task, it made me want to focus on the camera work when we began to film our thriller. I feel the cinematography needs a lot of time spent on it to make sure it looks neat and we produce a better thriller opening sequence.

During my preliminary task I used windows movie maker to edit it later on I used Sony Vegas pro to edit my sequence. I learned how to edit a clip in a professional way which helped me a lt as I was able to put effects in my video. Quality of editing was better now as all the shots are complied in order and make sense.
