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

The preliminary task was a good practise with the equipment and editing facilities and it enabled us to familiarise ourselves with the cameras and what we could achieve with them. We learnt what the 180 degree rule was and how to create a match on action shot which enabled continuity. We used these techniques along with the shot reverse shot in our thriller as well as a variety of camera angles which added to the suspense of the thriller.
The story board and script we created for the preliminary task was a lot more basic then the one that was made for the thriller, but having had that previous practise helped us finalise our story board with more accuracy. However, on the day of filming we still had to make some minor adjustments.
We recognised one problem during the editing of the preliminary task with a sound not matching up to its action accurately. Once we were aware of this, we made sure that when filming the thriller this would not occur.
With the help of Talia's mum and Raheem, our equipment was well looked after and we were able to set up quickly at our location. Having used the equipment for our preliminary task we were familiar with how everything worked.
After filming and editing the preliminary task we felt that we really learnt alot in the progression to the full product. We felt confident on the day of shooting knowing how to use the equipement with ease.
