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

Looking back at my preliminary task I can see I have developed in many different aspects. One being the quality of my editing skills significantly improving. For example with my preliminary task I did not know how to place titles or music into my media product and now I know how to do both these effectively. I can see I have learnt how to make a video run smoother through different effects such as fade in to drip dissolve, these different effects make my media product look a lot better and professional. Here is the example of the lighting in our preliminary task, as we can see its not great and it not quite as bold as our full product. Below this screenshot is a shot from our final media product, as we can see colours are more vibrant as we learn where best to position ourself to take full advantage to get the best quality pictures.

I have also learnt how best to use a camera for things such as cinematography. With my preliminary task i used very basic shots such as close ups and 180 reverse shot. I have developed from this and used many more different shots. I also learnt how best to film certain things and where to position the camera to get the best of the lighting available and for things such as protection from the wind. I believe I have learnt a lot in progression from my preliminary task to the full product. I learnt how best to use music in a video sequence and how to control it so it fits well with that is going on. Many different techniques to improve the quality of my work from cinematography to editing skills.
