Q7 Evaluation

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

 

The image on the top shows 4 different frames from my prelim task and the bottom image shows 4 different frames from my final film in a corresponding order to the image of the prelim task.

The frames on the top left on each images were match on action and it shows the main character walking through a doorway, and filming a match on action in my prelim task was not precisely well as the camera was quite shakey therefore the match on action did not flow very well from the previous shot as it was quite jumpy. However, I took this into consideration and made sure that in my final film, my match on action flowed well from the previous shot and the camera was at a levelled angle so I wouldn't end up losing marks. 

Also, I had a similar problem in the frames on the bottom left on each image, the angle of the camera on the prelim task was not straight therefore causing the shot to look like a long shot, when it was meant to be a mid close-up. Therefore, in my final film, I made sure that I maintained the camera at an even angle and had a clear mid close-up of the main character.

Furthermore, the frame on the top right on each image, shows a close-up on the characters to capture their facial expression. On the prelim task, I thought I did the close-up very well and I knew to use the camera at the right angle for the audience to have a clear shot at the character's face expression, so I used this same skill on my final film, so the audience could see the panic on the victim's face.

Moreover, the bottom right frame on each of the images shows the character covering their face with their hands and talking about their distressing moments and crying. However, in my prelim film, the lightning was poor so in this particular shot the character was blacked out and not clearly seen, therefore I made sure that in my final film when the character was talking about her distressing moments, the lightning was clear so there wouldn't be any trouble viewing the main character.

To conclude, the mistakes I made on my prelim task, I took them into consideration and made sure that I didn't make the same mistakes as I did it my prelim task, so I could get a higher mark and to make sure that these silly mistakes do not make me fall behind.
