Evaluation Q7: Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

AS preliminary task from Jemma Goulds on Vimeo.

Looking back at our premiliminary task in comparision to our finished product, our preliminary task pales in comparision to our finished product in many ways. As this was our first time producing a short film, we didnt have any experience in how we would film our preliminary task. However, we attempted to incorperate the different camera techniques including shot reverse shots, the 180 degree rule and match on action shots.

Our attempt at the 180 degree rule.

Our attempt at the match on action shot.



Developed camera and editing techniques from our finished cut of Estate Of Mind.

Although our preliminary task, entitles Pokerface, wasn't up to par with our later work, it became our stepping stone in our progression to making much finer work; it helped us improve with the quality of our filming, making advanced title credits, choosing different locations to film, adding a soundtrack and adding effects and editing techniques to make our footage more interesting to watch.
