Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
The purpose of the preliminary task was to create a short video which would demonstrate the basic shots of the camera and to get used to using the equipment and the editing software. The shots I used were a long shot, over the shoulder, panning and close-up. From this task I learnt the positions in which the camera has to be to film these shots successfully. After filming this task we had to edit it so the frames joined together smoothly and were in the correct order.
When looking back at the preliminary task, I can say that a lot of improvements have been made on my knowledge of creating a sequence, through the whole progression from it to my media product. The preliminary task also helped me remember a variety of shots, angles and transitions that can be effective in a film if used in the appropriate scene, for example, the preliminary task only included basic shots, but when planning the cinematography for the opening sequence I included shots such as high angles, canted angles and POV shots to make each frame different and also conventional to a thriller.
Your analysis of question 7, demonstrates minimal understanding of how the preliminary task assisted you with carrying out the main task. You have made some minimal points on cinematography and what you learnt to do. However, you have not fully explored the role of the preliminary task, what you had to do and what you learnt, in progression to the full task.
ReplyDeleteTherefore, you need to read over these points again and refer back to your productions, to demonstrate further knowledge and understanding of this question.
