Evaluation: Technology

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product and looking back at your preliminary task, what did you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product? In the pre production, looking back at the preliminary task, I think I have improved well in terms of time management. I have been more organised and on time which meant that I got all the filming done within a day.  This is good as I didn’t have to go to stress of finding a day everyone was free and meant that we had more time to edit (post production) our film to make sure it was as good as we could make it.

When it came to filming the opening film, I had prepared a shot list to take on the day.  I did this so I knew what I had to exactly cover. Although, if I did not do this it would of wasted time on not knowing or forgetting what shot comes after what which meant I also saved time. I have learnt that when doing the preliminary task it was harder looking at the storyboard and not knowing what shot angles or shot sizes were needed which is why it took longer to film. Therefore I made sure I had a shot list as it was easier to follow on the day.

Also, when looking back at the preliminary task, I had learnt a lot about different elements such as filming and the camera and how its used. Therefore when I came to the main task I knew what I was doing when filming and editing go this sped up the process. Things I learnt in the post production (editing) included adding soundtrack, titles and transitions. This was a key thing tat I needed to learn in order to successfully edit our footage. I learnt from my mistakes form the preliminary task, therefore would correct this and avoid doing them again in the main task. These mistakes included using the wrong lenses for the wrong shot or forgetting a shots list making it harder to remember what we needed to film. This is a part of being organised and from learning from this mistake I was able to become more organised in the main task.
