Evaluation question 7

7. Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

By looking back on our Preliminary exercise I feel that we have improved greatly. One thing that we improved greatly was the title. The Preliminary exercise title was simple and unoriginal. Whereas in our final piece it looks professional and unique. This shows that we have research into other films openings to see how they have edited their films to make them look original and have designed our own to fit the purpose of our film.

Another way we have improved is by learning how to film better. We have shown a clear improvement in panning the camera. In the Preliminary exercise it is shaky and rough whereas in the Final clip it is smooth and steady showing that we learned how to professionally control the camera. The print screens below show the effectiveness of the camera and editing as  the one focusses on the centre character and keeps her in middle third so the audience is always looking at her. However with the Preliminary the camera doesn't follow at the right speed meaning the character moves into each of the thirds.

In our preliminary exercise we had some minor faults including the lens being just partly covered. In our  final piece however we made sure this problem did not occur as we took great care into avoiding slight errors.
The sound we have used has also improved from out preliminary exercise. in our final piece the sound is clearer and easy to understand whereas the preliminary was quiet and pointless. Also our final piece has non-diagetic sound making it more professional
