1. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel
youve learnt in the progression from it to the full product By Jade

2. Preliminary Task
3. Main Task
4. Camera Work My camera work for the preliminary task was not
planned out properly so at times during filming the different
scenes the camera would shake, or not be positioned properly which
meant certain elements would be cut out of the scene. Also at times
the camera may be tilted. However for the main task my camerawork
is a lot better as I planned it out and done many test shots from
different angles to make sure none of the key elements were cut off
from the scene.
5. Editing For the preliminary task there were many errors made
throughout the clip due to my lack of knowledge about editing and
the different software's. Errors such as the same action being
repeated many times then the scene cutting from one back to
another. Although for my main task I was able to gain a lot of
knowledge about editing and create a linear sequence in which
everything flowed perfectly and was easy to understand.
6. Locations The location of the preliminary task wasnt thought
out properly, I used a drama studio as a living room, and the
correct props werent available to use so it was difficult to act
out the scene properly. On the other hand for the main task I was
able to scout out locations through looking at the conventions of a
horror film and was able to pick the forest and caf.
7. However If it wasnt from the preliminary task I dont think I
would've been able to learn the basics of the different equipment
needed such as the video camera, tripod, etc. The preliminary task
made it easier for me to do the main task because I was already
aware of the equipment I needed so it was new to me.
