Makeeha Ali- Evaluation Question Seven

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

The transition between my knowledge and understanding of everything from the preliminary task to the full product i would say was a major one. During the preliminary task i was unaware of many of the features on both the camera and iMovie therefore could not produce a product to the full of my ability. The learning process then started and i was able to use and work on our opening more easily. 


Since our preliminary task  i feel i personally have developed new media skills, mainly my editing skills have improved. However this does not mean we did not have problems during the making of our full product, it just meant as a group we were able to handle them better. For example' after the filming of one of our scene's we realized that the sound was not working on our camera, after re-filming the scene 4 times we decided to cut it out of our full product due to continuity errors because of clothing, and limited time to re-film the scene.


  • Our preliminary task did not consists of editing between shots to smoothly bring them together, this is something we change in our full product and used edits such as blacks fades to show the transition in time.
  • The 180 degree rule was enforced in our preliminary task, although we did not feel it fitted into our opening well therefore did not use it, however it would have to be used later on in the film.


In the preliminary task we used limited camera shots, such as low angle. However in the making of our full product we used a variety of camera shots and angles, such as mid shot, long and closeup, this also added to the effect of our thriller genre.
