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

Looking back at our preliminary task I feel that I have learnt many different skills that i have been able to develop into this project. For a start in my preliminary task I only worked with one other person whereas with our main task there was four of us I therefore had to adapt to work with more ideas and opinions that i had to take into consideration. I have also learnt how to improve aspects such as lighting. In our preliminary task we had the issue of too much light coming from behind our two characters when we tried to do a long shot. It made it hard to focus on the two characters because of the glare from the sun. Therefore during our main task we avoided placing the characters infront of windows or glass doors to prevent any unwanted ambient light. A key aspect of the progression was the time management, it was more convenient to film the preliminary task as we would film in school during lessons so we could equally plan how long we would spend doing both filming and editing, however in the main task we had to organise finding a house to film in and a day in which all of the cast and crew could make it to the location. Finally there was the issue with the sound in our preliminary task, because it was filmed in the school canteen there was a result in unwanted diagetic background noise to conquer this problem we used the detachable microphone to focus on the sound that we wanted. Overall I think that our preliminary task helped us to improve our skills so that our main task can be portrayed to our full potential.
