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

There were certain things we had not yet learnt about and due to this our preliminary film was not the probably the worst piece of editing work that we had put together. However, after doing this we began to learn a lot more about filming, editing and the amount of planning that is needed to go into filming.

In the prelim there is no continuity editing what so ever, the shots are all too short and they jumped from one to the next, not allowing the pace to flow from scene to scene. As you can also see in of the images below, we had not learnt about the rule of thirds and so there is too much head space in particular shots in the scene. Although we had also been given a tripod to work with, we were unsure on how to use it in the correct way and therefore some shots have come out shaky and unclear. We have made some terrible filming mistakes, and in one show (in the second image below) the camera man's reflection can be seen in the window of the kitchen door.
