7. Looking back at the preliminary task, what do you think you have learnt from the proggression from it to the full task?

The preliminary task was crucial for us as a group to be able to develop and build on the new skills we have attained. The world of film making we learnt new skills and filming rules such as the 180 degree rule, which eventually came into play but did not prove to be a burden for our film. If the rule was not upheld in our film then it would have consequently made our production decrepit.

This is a shot reverse shot of 'yacob' and his best friends girlfriend. Which required abiding by the 180 degree rule during the takes with an aim of attaining legislated shots.

As a group we had to learn and use a wider range of shot to make the film move exciting because we only used a limited amount of shots when filming the preliminary task therefore the preliminary was a stepping stone for us in aim of reaching bigger and better things for our final film. The preliminary task additionally showed us that something so simple as sound/music could provide a spark for a boring scene, this was because the preliminary task was dull and boring but upon experimenting with a few sounds during the editing stage, it seemed to resurrect up the scene and make the shots stimulating.

This then allowed us to spend a generous amount of time making a suitable sound track for our film which in effect meant our final film was greatly improved. If it were not for the preliminary task, where we experimented with many transitions and contrast techniques, we believe our final film would lack the craft and technical composition which it now has.

We believe that upon watching both the preliminary task and the Final film you can witness a leap of quality in contrast to one another with the final film having much higher eminence. Moreover, we made many mistakes in the making of the preliminary task, we believe that these mistakes were crucial in order for us to make a good film. This was due to the fact that upon making the mistakes and noticing them you can then make greater checks in order to make sure and avoid the previously made faults.
