Question 7-Looking back at your prelimanary task, what do you feel you have learned in the progression from it to your final product?

For our preliminary task we had to make a short video of a conversation between two people. Only thinking about very few things these included use a variety of shots and follow the 180 degree rule. I felt that i did this. If you know look at the final draft of my media piece I feel like I have come a long way from the start of the year. In the preliminary task I did not even think about the mise en scene when completing the task in the final draft I felt that I thought about the mise en scene and we had to revolve our shooting schedule around the weather due to this as we wanted the mise en scene to be right, if this was at the start of the year I would have probably just film ed the shots and the mise en scene would have not been as good as it was. Also we had to think about costume (part of mise en scene). At the start of the year although we did not have  any costumes to change into and it wasn't a big deal because what we was wearing was suitable anyway I still would have never thought about the costume in the way that I did in the final draft. Also with the preliminary task some of the shots were very blurry and we did not bother to re shoot them. In the final draft we watched back all our shots and made sure that they were perfect if they were not we would shoot them again most of the shots we filmed three times just so we had back up just in case something went wrong, in the preliminary task I would have never done this and would have just used the poorly shot. A good example of how far I have come would be the editing at the start I didn't really know how to use adobe premier pro. I didn't know how to put fades in all I could really do was drag the different shots in and put them together. Now I can do various different things on Adobe like fades in and out. During the preliminary task I couldn't really edit at all but during the editing of the final draft I felt that I helped out in the editing of the final draft for example with the titles in the preliminary task I didn't know how to do the titles but in the final draft I was regularly doing the titles.   


Therefore, I believe that I have learnt a lot of information and my filming skills and overall media knowledge has increased if you were to ask me about some of the shots that we used in our final draft at the time that we was completing our preliminary task I would have had no idea. For example at the time of the preliminary task I had no idea what a dutch tilt is and we used one in our final draft. I also would have not known what a eye line match is we also used one of them therefore I feel that I have progressed massively in media since the start of the year

This is the final draft
