Evaluation question 7.

Looking back at my preliminary task, I feel that I have experienced and gained a lot more knowledge in the production of my main task compared to my preliminary task.



My preliminary task challenged continuity, the 180-degree rule, match on action and the rule of thirds were all concepts that I was still getting the basics of. Having the opportunity to explore different ways in which I can use those conventions meant that my main task was much more professional, saved time and gave me the experience to apply it to more projects.


In my preliminary task, I used the editing software for the first time which meant that it took much longer to work and perfect the task. Having that past experience allowed my to extend it and apply it to my main task which saved time and allowed me to make it look more professional.

My preliminary task was my first time using camera shots as well, as a result, the camera angles and shots were not very still and accurate leading to dodgy shots and tilted camera angles. With my main task, I knew more about shots and angles which enabled me to shoot much more professional shots and keep the camera in the correct shot for longer periods of time.
