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

When we were creating the prelimanary tast we were learning about very important rules. when filming for example; the 180 degree rule, (you never rotate the camera more than180 degrees). This stops the audience becoming confused, we also learnt about mise-en-scene and how each and everything in the shot needs to be taken into account. Which we found to our dismay more than once when filming our prelimanary task as you will see in the bloopers.

As filming progressed from the prlimanary to the actuall production my level of filming increased tenfold, i did a lot of the filming in both of the productions and with the first one the preliminary each shot took twice as long to get a resulting shot that was shaky. After learning how to film correctly using a tripod the filming became easier and more fulid meaning a panning shot was possible towards the end of the prelimanary. however this was imposible in the woods shooting for the production as the gound was soft from rain eairler that day and the tripod becam just excess bagage as it would’nt sit right. In the end we decided to just use spare timber as a makeshift stand, which actually worked better.
Also during the production of the prelimanary, the mac’s were put to great use, we experimented on them untill we had worked out how to use them compitently. this meant that in our final production they were exploited to help us as a group create the production.
there is software on the mac called gaurageband which enables you to create your own music. using gaurageband we created the background trak for the production somthing we could have never achieved on the preliminary.

The best place to show my dramatic improvement form preliminary to production would be the opening of the production where the camera ruches through the woods by increaseing the speed of the initiall part show a bit more of the location which helps to add the the suspence, but also was put there to show time has passed and events have already happened that are vital to the rest of the film

i have found when orgonising shot the peliminary was much easier as it had less than half the shots to go through and organise. so although i had pratise on organisation it was proably my weakest point and james helped me with this.
In the prelimanary organisation of costumes and props was poorly organised because of a missuderstanding the trousers of one of the actors was changed form black to blue which ment we had to alter the script and try to hide it with camera angles this didnt happen on the production because i took charge and explained in words then writing what need to be worn when and where.
