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

Overall

A problem which we faced was creating our narrative. As we changed our genre through preparation time, we found it harder to get back on track. How to improve this for next time is to stick to an initial idea and try to build on that. By doing this, it'll allow more editing time.

Creating our final product wasn't easy, however, what we learnt whilst creating our preliminary task was really helpful. As a group, we struggled with timings. Had we gone with the correct timings I think our product would have been by far much better.

Editing

A problem with editing is that it is really time consuming. Whilst editing, we saw that we needed more scenes which resulted in us going back to film again. Had we not done this the edited footage would have been off.

Whilst editing, I learnt a few things, for example how to put sound behind people speaking. I also learnt how to put a back drop which before this I never knew how to do and how to change the lighting in scenes.

When editing we used Adobe Premier Pro. When completing the preliminary task, I wasn't the one editing. I was only introduced to this software when it came to the final product. At first I thought it would be difficult working out what to do but I managed to do it with the support of some peers.

Blogger

To keep a record of all work we have done this year, we were required to create a blog. As an individual, this is my first time ever blogging. It hasn't been easy, but I have learnt to use various elements like blogging tools to create my blog.

Research and ideas

Creating the preliminary was easy in the sense that you didn't need to plan things like costume and props. However, in the product, it required a lot of thought and planning in order for it to look right to the audience.

Whilst conducting my research and planning, I found it really difficult to decide on a genre to create. When I got back questionnaire's from my peers, I found it difficult because the comedy genre was highly picked. As an individual who didn't have enough ideas to produce the comedy I had to change the genre to something I could work with.

Filming

During the filming for our media product, I learnt a lot with the camera as I was the cinematographer. I learnt the importance of using variety of shots but also, learnt how to a tripod effectively. I also learnt about the factors that could effect your filming e.g. filming into the light.

During our preliminary task, we were given a limited amount of time to film. This resulted in poor use of camera skills. Looking back our product had limited camera angles and shots. Also, during this we were using the little flip cameras this was very limited in what we could do.
