Question 7. 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 clearly see how much I have improved, in creativity, filming and editing. During the process from my preliminary task to my finish two minute film opening product I have grown in confidence with experimenting with different angled shots, I've learnt how to angle the camera and work with the camera when I haven't had appropriate equipment, e.g. not having a big enough tripod to get high angle shots I would resolve this by placing the tripod on a highest point possible whether I used books or shelves to balance the camera. I have also grown in confidence with editing, I have learnt a lot about editing and I have become more self sufficient in learning things by myself which is something I wasn't comfortable with doing my preliminary task because I was anxious about ruining the film or doing something wrong but by the process of trail and error I have grown in confidence and understanding about the different technologies that are available to me when editing. 

I have also become more aware of the difficulties you can face when recording, how something you imagine and plan can't always be realistic. I had a lot of ideas about what I wanted in my film but when taking into consideration deadlines, technologies I had at my disposer and equipment some ideas had to scaled down to fit into realistic terms, however I attempted to make my film as creative as possible which is something that wasn't done with my preliminary task as I just stuck to simple shots where as in my film I was more confident and creative. I also learnt more about different technologies, for example, I learnt how the camera we used worked and how different lights and settings can effect the out come of the shot which is something I didn't take into consideration when doing my preliminary task. I also learnt about copyright protection on images and sounds on the internet, and how to spot whether images and sounds had copyright protection on them and whether or not I could use them in my film. In my preliminary task I stuck to the movie maker sounds effects and image effects but as I grew in editing confidence I took to the internet and learnt how to find, download, and convert images and sounds to insert into my movie, along with this I learnt how to duck sound on clips, editing lighting and colour, split clips and trim clips.
