Looking back at the preliminary task, what do you think you have learned from the progression from it to the full task?

I think the most important thing I have learned that the pre production and planning are very big measurements to producing a good piece. I think that if our main production was as planned as the preliminary task then we have achieved a product of more value. I also have learned that writing scripts and giving specific roles would have also helped. We attempted this project 3 times; the first 2 attempts of this product resulted in work that was not up to a reasonable standard. I think teamwork has been a big issue in the group, we started with 4 members, by the end of the main task there was only 2 members left which resulted in the work was not being divided equally. For the preliminary task we planned our schedule and worked suitably as a team, it would have been more produced if this attitude were carried out to end. I also learned how to create the right lighting and camera angles to suit what is actually happening in the film, instead of plain standard camera shots I learned to use a variety. I think that the project would have been more enjoyable and worthwhile if the teamwork was improved.
In the preliminary task we didn’t film enough footage to work with, so it made it more difficult to work with if there was bad acting or something wrong with the clips. Another problem that encountered during the preliminary task was that when we were filming we didn’t not leave enough time in between shots; this also created difficulties when editing. To improve this when filming the main task I filmed each shot around 3 times so if there were problems that weren’t obvious while filming I would be able to use a different shot, I also made sure I left 5 seconds between each shot while filming to make it easier when editing. From doing the preliminary task I think this enabled us to make mistakes so we could them improve and work on problems we had to help make a good main project.
