Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel that you have learnt from it to the main task?
- Mistakes made in the preliminary task - how were they corrected?
- how has your understanding of editing techniques improved?
- How have you become better at planning, story boarding, creative decision making, camerawork (shot quality etc - tripods) etc.
- what you have learnt about: casting actors (older more credible), editing, sound mixing, lighting, working from a strict brief
CAPTIVE
Preliminary task: no research and planning prior to the shoot (felt rushed) - no script/plot idea of shot types. This meant that we had little guidance when filming. In contrast, lots of planning during final shoot, good idea of what needed to be done.
Improvements of technical aspects of prelim task - using equipment such as tripods - to keep camera steady.
lack of camera movement - gives the film an overly static feel, whereas we incorporated movement into our film.
Sound mixing - In prelim, audio clips do not flow into each other, whereas
we recorded the audio externally, allowing us to more accurately mix the sound (better flow)
Casting actors - in prelim, we used inexperienced young actors, whereas we casted a semi-proffessional actor for our final product
Editing - practised with editing (used Premiere rather an iMovie) allowed better accuracy with editing. Can be seen with prelim task, smoother flow between shots etc.
