Task 7 - Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

Prelim Task Planning: ·         Less planning had already got given a script for the actors so all we needed to do was tell them what to do. ·         Basic equipment set up, checking for bubbling, focus and white balance. This gives us the basic camera work that would help us set up our shots on the real day. Development: ·         We had the basic skills we needed to get the shots, which would help us know exactly what we needed to work on for our main task. Use of camera: ·         We used good height and angles but could have used more close up which we now knew this would help us on the actually day on creating intensity. Use of sound: ·         We only used duologue that the actors were speaking, so it didn’t give us a big opportunity to try out different things but we learnt along the way.

Main Task Planning: ·         This took a lot more planning and time, ever little detail had to be thought about, how we were going to get to our off campuses location, equipment and script and organise the actors. ·         When it came to shooting we had to know exactly what shot we were going to, what angle and how many of the same shot do we need.  ·         When it came to the underwater shots and tracking shot we had to really focus on getting exactly what we needed as this was more complicated to set up.   Development: ·         We had developed our, organisation, expanded our understanding of using the cameras and expanding our use of different shots.        Use of camera: ·         We created some really good shots that we were all pleased with by using slow motion, close ups and under water shots that were all created for intercity. We developed our skills throughout the day.          Use of sound: ·         We created sound to help us create an atmosphere; we did this by using sound tracks and editing them to fit in with the scene.
