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

This links to the idea of our continuity task and how we learnt to record things in a way to make different things be depicted in different ways such as power and movement. The way we recorded it was a POV shot which allowed us to be ‘on the same level’ as the main female character however it meant that the audience could also understand the demise of the male character at the beginning of the clip. The continuity task also allowed us to understand where we might need to change our scenes in order for it all to ‘flow’. By this I mean that there are no errors with missing parts of scenes and there are no shadows or anything that could affect the quality of the film. Creating the continuity task also allowed me to add smooth transitions between scenes as well as changing the pace in which the film is presented by adding different speed transitions and cutting at certain points of the film. The stops and starts in the continuity create tension towards the building in our film which means that the audience could keep up with the pace. Also the continuity task allowed us to understand that the characters have to be wearing the same clothes whilst filming which we found difficult as we mainly had the time during school which was unlikely for us to be wearing the same clothes as the day before. I think that progressing from the continuity task to the actual film was a big step however creating the continuity task allowed me to understand all of the editing software and being to know how I would need to film my introduction to make it a good quality film and appeal to its target audience.
