Evaluation Question 7

Q.7 looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

When we have a look back at our preliminary task you can see that our understanding on how to make a film opening has changed a great deal – and you can see that from the quality of our piece. The first main thing that we have improved on is the research that we had to undertake to make sure that we were creating a justified film opening. From this we found lots of facts and figures on what to do and what not to do which has led to the improvement of our piece. We also learnt how to effectively use a camera. You can see that the quality of our piece has increased a great deal and you are also able to notice a great deal of better and more efficient camera angles. This has led to the look of our piece becoming more professional. Also when you compare our preliminary task to our final piece you can see that our editing looks a lot better. in the preliminary task we decided that we would edit on the schools editing software - IMovie. This was good because it meant that we could do all the editing in school. We found that this software was fast to edit and is also good to upload the video's. We found that it would be inadequate however for our final piece. This meant that we had to do a little looking around. We finally came to the derision that we would use Sony Vegas 14 pro which is industry professional editing software. This helped us a lot as it meant that we had a lot of features to use to finish our film.
