Q7 – LOOKING BACK AT YOUR PRELIM TASK, WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT IN THE PROGRESSION FROM THAT TO THE FINAL PRODUCT?

Traffic Lights

JUNO

What I have progress from the Juno task was the different camera angles and shots that can be used while filming. I have also learnt the different effects that can be used such the change you can use in the colour of the film and contrast. This worked well in our final production as we needed to change contrast in many shots to make it darker as our film opening was a dark, crime/drug film.

DANCING ANIMALS

What I have progress from the dancing animals task was mainly the how to add sound over on the film footage and how to change the tempo and speed of the sound so it fits well with the footage and is in sync. This helped out of the final task as we used a song to go over the top of the opening and we changed the speed of some parts so it would go well and sync with footage. Another progression was the different transactions I tried out on the dancing animals task. This helped as we used a range of transactions and cuts in our final opening product.

DON’T DREAM

From our prelim don’t dream I have progressed on how to film and the quality of filming as in this task some of the footage was not steady and the zooming looked unprofessional and lacked quality. We progressed as for the filming we used a tripod for most scenes where we could to make the camera footage still and of a high quality. We also used more shots to broaden the angles and show the intensity of the genre of our final product.

FILMING

I progressed hugely on the filming aspect this as we used a tripod and reshot many takes until we were completely satisfied with the scene. We progressed as for our final product we used a tripod for every scene possible and made sure that we re-filmed when we needed whereas the prelims we shot once and then went to the next shot. This proved key as our final product had a higher quality and looked a lot better and more professional then my prelim tasks that included filming.
