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?

From the preliminary task to now i think that i have learnt a lot about producing a film. It was more complicated doing our own thriller as we had to take in more what everything meant in the scene, the mise-en-scene.

This included like camera shots and angles, costume, locations etc. This also varied from the preliminary task as we didn’t have anything set that we had to do e.g. someone sitting down and having a conversation. Where as in our thriller production we had to come up with a story line and plot and make it from scratch.

In the preliminary task we were allowed to use whatever sound track we liked whereas in the production we were not allowed to use any copyrighted music which took quite a while to get the right soundtrack that suited the opening.

The casting of the actors was very different as well as we did not have a lot of time to get people in the preliminary task so we had to use who was in our group where as in the production we had a lot more time for planning and to get our designated look alike for the part.

Editing was a big difference between the two as we didn’t know anything about the software as it was the first time in using it during our preliminary task, but as we gained experience for our main thriller production we knew a bit more about it so we could edit our film easier and quicker.
