Evaluation Question 7 - What do you feel you have learnt in the progression from the preliminary task to the full product?

We have learnt a lot about film making and editing since the very first preliminary task. We have demonstrated the various skills that we have learnt during lesson time throughout both tasks but the final product has highlighted our skills even more. For the first task, we found the camera angles challenging to keep steady and create smooth transitions from one clip to the next during editing. However since then, we have increased our knowledge and understanding by increasingly practising these techniques before we started our final piece.
For our first preliminary task, we broke the 180 degree rule and did not correct it. After this we knew to be aware and careful not to break it for our real task. Whilst filming, we did not break the 180 degree rule at all which is a significant improvement to the original. We made sure that each shot was within the 180 degree rule and at one point we almost broke it, then reassessed it and changed it.
