Question 7: Looking back at your preliminary task, waht do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Since my preliminary task I have learnt a lot of things; mise en scene was something I looked at in a lot of detail, seen as in my opinion is very important to a film. The mise en scene being everything else in the shot apart from the actors. For example the costumes, the props, the locations ect. I have learnt that many objects within the frame, could change the whole idea and feel of the shot. Also during this time I have learnt a lot about the editing of a film and how important it is to let a lot of transitions run smoothy, for a particular genre: jumpy shots for a thriller, and dissolve transitions for a rom-com for example. All relating to each genre, giving there target audience exactly what they want.
Our preliminary task was something that my group particularly struggled with, especially the 180 degree rule and the match on action shots, so we had to re-do the whole thing, we learned the rules again and manage to complete our film in about 4 hours, record time!
