Evaluation Q7 Emily

7- Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression form it to the full production?

-I believe I have made a good progression from our preliminary exercise than to l’our full film. This is because our preliminary exercise was simple and the shots we used weren’t difficult as the one we used in our film. We only used several shot in our preliminary exercise like, 180 degree shot rule, match on action and shot reverse shot, these camera angles we easy for me to do and I did them really well. But in the actually full film we used shots like, Pan, Medium long shot, Long shot, zoom, close up, and medium close shot. These shots were much more difficult but I did them really well. Also this full film we did lasts longer than the preliminary task so I believe we had more pressure on the full movie, so we had to look into shots in other films more to make it look as professional as we could.

2) I have used a different camera shots like pan as I moved the camera side wards to follow the actors. Also I have learnt how to make I film look better and the genre we wanted it to, which was horror, as it was dark and filmed in a creepy place, we did this by looking up different films. Also I learnt that using props during a film could make the film much better and make it more interesting for the audience to watch.

3) I have got better at shots and using more shots, also I have got better at choosing shots for a certain scene to make it look better and match the genre we want in this case it was horror. Also I have learnt that working with people we don’t know it really good as we all worked well and they was really good at acting because we didn’t make one another laugh. If we worked with people we are close friends with we are more likely to get embarrassed and therefore do something wrong whilst filming a shot and this would take a lot of time and could make the film look worse.

4) I have used different shots, cinematography and editing which I believe has made me more aware of using a camera and making the best film we can. Also I have learnt that looking up films and how they used there shots and made the film look good and match the genre and use this to interpret our film and add them to our film to make it look more professional and make the audience aware of what our film is about.
