Evaluation Question 7

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

Here are some examples of when I used the 180 rule. The top image is also when I used the shot/reverse shot editing technique in my preliminary task, which I did not use to a great effect in my final production (this editing technique is at the end of the production).
I also used more occurrences of medium close ups and close ups in my final task, this also being shown in the two above images, where in the preliminary task, long shots were used more often.

I did continue to use match on action, such as the door handle in the preliminary task and walking through the door on the final task, as I feel that it is a good editing technique to use.

One technique I used a lot more in my final version was the first person shot for the camera work. This was more of a work around for there only being one me as opposed to a completely intentional camera work technique. There was only one occurrence of this in the preliminary task, which was during the match on action shot.

I also think the sound editing has improved, and while all the sound in my final production was non-diegetic, I felt as though the background music was not as intrusive as in the preliminary task.

I do think the overall quality, however, has decreased and this may be due to having to do most of the filming and editing on my own as opposed to having someone else with me.

 In conclusion, I think that I have improved in terms of techniques used, although some of the camera work and editing could have been better
