Q7)Looking back at your preliminary task what do you feel you have learn in the progression from it to the full product?
I believe that there is a big difference between our preliminary and main task because when compared the two productions I can see the improvement between the two. In the first one things didn’t work out the way we wanted to, for example we had a problem with the sound which took us a lot of time to try and fix. When we did our main task we were aware that it could have happened again so we looked over it before we started to record the product.
Apart from the sound we realised that we didn’t have as many as different shots in the first production we made which was torment. So when looking at the second task Rumour we can see clearly that more time and more thinking was put in to get the different angle shots. We had a wider variety in the second one and we put across clearly by the camera angles that they were being watched and spied on. Also when looked at our Animatic for both of the productions it clear that we paid attention to detail , which is clear from the way that the Animatic and the product looks really similar.
In the first one we couldn’t find the car we needed, as it was difficult to have access to a vintage car. We searched for the cars but we only found cars that was driven in the 60’s and 70’s and not the old vintage cars, and the one we found we couldn’t get photos or recordings of it, so we had to exclude that option from our plan. We would of liked to have the car because it would of got our era to the audience clearly, but it didn’t work out the way we wanted so we had to cut out the vintage car idea from our production. We checked museums and vintage car companies and couldn't arrange a suitable car for ‘Torment’, there were many rules such as not touching the car and not sitting in the car which wouldn’t be useful for our production so we didn’t include that particular scene. In the second task, which was the main task we made sure that the props needed was easily findable so that there wasn’t no problems when recording.
In the first production I didn’t include any good transitions or effects apart from one or two as it was based in the 1920’s. in the 1920’s there wasn’t good technology so we didn’t want to over do our transitions so that it was realistic and not over done. In the second productions editing sessions we knew how to use the adobe premier better which meant that we could of experimented more. Also we already had some skills from the first sessions we had, so we developed our skills and included more effects which pulled up our second product into a higher standard when compared.
We was more experience and we had more knowledge on how to use the camera and how to improve our editing skills, so when we had our second go at out full product we realised that we were more able to improve our main task. Our editing skills improved as we experimented using adobe premier and I believe this improvement can be seen when looked at both of our productions.
