Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in progression from it to the full product?
I feel that I have progressed dramatically from the preliminary task to the main task, I honestly think it is because I have a clearer understanding of how important the pre production actually was. Before when we were doing our preliminary task we prepared our pre production but we did not stand by it this then meant that we became unaware of what was happening in the production of the film. By using this as a starting point for a new beginning I think we did better when it came to sticking by the story board and developing our ideas but also learning to come together as one.
Pre Production
As I said before in our preliminary task we did not focus on what was important and led us to start again. To avoid this in terms of the new task we divided the work load up between the group, once everyone had completed what they were meant to we then came back and discussed what we like and what we didn't like. This was good as this allowed us to take things we liked into consideration but also we took these forward. Once doing this we were able to create a pack this helped us plan out the different shots that needed to be done but also helped us so we can set out the props and prep the location.
Production
In the preliminary task we used to get really distracted because we used our friends as the cast members but we then decided that was a bad idea as it prolonged our filming time and 'wasted daylight'. For the man task we decided to hire actors that we did not know personally so this would keep everything on a professional level.
Post Production
When it came to us using the technology it was different because in the preliminary task we just focused on match on action, shot, reverse shot, continuity and not breaking the 180 degree. when doing the main task yes we focused on these aspects but it was also about creating a narrative and telling as story. We used the same soft ware but used different settings. So before in the preliminary task we did not do any colour grading as it was not needed, so taking this in mind we were very inexperienced when it came colour grading but with help we succeeded.
At the end of the preliminary task we decided to write down a few questions that we swore we would learn to answer in the near future and I can now say that I can answer these questions if asked.
The questions are below:
How to colour grade a film?How to create a voice over onto final cut pro?
How to add music onto final cut pro?
What is the main production of a film?
How do you get special effects on final cut pro?
How to get a split screen effect on final cut pro?
How to make a realistic script?
