MAIN Post 12.7: Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Looking over my previous work I think I've make an obvious improvement, there were three key points that stuck out for me that I've developed and improved. 
The preliminary task wasn't as good as the main task therefore there is an obvious improvement. The beginning of Behind Blue Eyes has the background music instantly with panning shots of the equipment which is an improvement from the beginning of The One Mistake which begins with a simple black screen showing the title then a long shot of the character in the corridor. The preliminary task didn't require an opening sequence like the main task did, the beginnings have still improved.



The location of our tasks have improved as you can see from the preliminary task to the main task. There was one location used in the preliminary task and it was not used to its full potential and was not correct for the storyline. We also had troubles with noise levels whilst filming and the lack of actors to make the scene look some what believable though the location was incorrect. The various locations of the main task however worked a lot better as they were more conventional and appropriate for the storyline as well as the correct actors to make the situation believable. 


The camera's positions when filming has definitely improved, during our preliminary task we used incorrect camera angles that didn't work, missing out on eye line level shots and preforming an incorrect shot reverse shot. During Behind Blue Eyes however we have used a variety of camera shots that have worked in our favour and have remembered the position of the characters whilst filming a shot reverse shot.
