Question 6 – what have you learnt about different technologies in the process of constructing your product?

Question 7 - looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to your thriller?

During production of our preliminary task we were all very amateur with the equipment as well as the programming. We had shaky and out of focus camera shots and also awful audio due to us not being able to use our camera to the best effect. But what I feel we had most progression in after our preliminary task was our editing skills. In our preliminary task we were set the task of making a continuous film with no jump cuts in the action sequence. We managed to do this but in a very rigid manor. this was because we could not use the editing software to its most useful extent. Over the period between doing our prelim and starting our thriller piece we changed and learnt how to use final cut instead of iMovie and found that even though it was more complex it was easier to use and edit our piece. This meant our piece was more free-flowing with a lot less errors and editing overall was a lot more finished and looked more like a piece of media than a mess of a first attempt. we also worked a lot on camera work, we learned to take more care when preparing shots, thinking more deeply into the different kind of shots we could use as well as shooting the sequence several times so that we would hopefully not have to return and re-shoot if our original did not fit in. We basically learnt from our preliminary to take more care and focus more time into our piece to give it a more professional finish whilst still managing our time efficiently.
