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

The purpose of the preliminary task was to shoot a short clip within our groups and upload it to YouTube to demonstrate that we knew how to use specific shots for our thriller film opening. We also had to edit the clip to make it look smooth with the changing of shots and dialogue. This task helped me and my group to practise filming different shots and learning how to edit the clips together so they look smooth and professional. Also, it allowed us to see what difficulties we may find when filming, and give us time to see how we can resolve these issues, the preliminary task also allowed our group to discuss different opinions when filming which we will also need to do when filming our thriller opening. This task has helped me to understand when to use certain shots within a clip, such as a shot reverse shot which is used to show the audience the different characters who are speaking. Also the tri-pod which the camera was on helped to do panning shots which will be good to use in my thriller opening.

  1. Your analysis of question 7, demonstrates minimal understanding of how you progressed from your preliminary task to your main task. You have made a start in evaluating the process, but the points that you have included are too basic and need to be explored and explained in further detail. This can be achieved by explaining what you did, what you found out and what you changed to do in your thriller.
