Evaluation Question 7

Looking back at my preliminary task, I feel that I have learnt a lot and I have progressed from it to the full product. I have fixed my lighting, camera shots/angles and simply the way I tell the story visually.

For the preliminary, I didn't bother planning at all because we already had the storyline and I had a brief view of what I wanted. However, we did storyboard but we didn't put much effort into it. On the other hand, we planned very well for our final film. We put maximum effort into the storyboarding as well as group conversation on what we wanted. We decided on the props and clothing we were going to use along with the mise-en-scene way before the stage of pre-production. 

I used my own camera for my final movie instead of using the college’s camera's because my camera has a higher quality and more options when it comes to selecting the frames per second. We spent much more time on set and we filmed a scene more than 10 times if I thought it wasn't successful or if I simply didn't like the look of it so we could pick shots out in the editing process. I used my directing skills to lead the actors and got them to act to the best of their ability even though we are all media students and none of them have studied drama before or have no experience with acting in front of a camera what so ever. 

There were so many mistakes in the post production of the preliminary compared to the final movie. The main problem was that the editing was unprofessional and there were several mistakes. Whereas, I spent days on editing my final movie and looked for any tiny mistakes.
