Looking Back At Your Preliminary Task, What Do You Feel You Have Learnt
In The Progression From It To Full Product?
Thinking back to my preliminary I have observe many changes from it to my final media product, some of the differences may be as a result of the change in the products genre and therefore purpose. But also due to me acquiring new knowledge and skills regarding production. As a whole I believe my final product improved upon what I achieved with the preliminary
From the preliminary we used similar shot to our final production, however we developed how we conveyed messages via our shot selection. For example in the preliminary I used an establishing shot of the class room but in this shot but nothing other than a few characters and the setting are depicted in this shot, and there is no real sense of atmosphere in the scene. However in the final production we used more establishing shot, some with slight variations as to better get our message across. An example of this is when we used a quite lengthy as the teacher enters the classroom, this allows for the setting to be set and allow the audience to see the mood and reactions of characters before and after the teacher is present. As well as this we used establishing shot the were out of focus of the school exterior, which conventionally defeats the purpose of an establishing shot but in this circumstance it effectively convey the eerie and unclear aspect of the goings on with the school, especially when followed up by an in focus shot of warning sign.
We also improved upon our editing capabilities as we previously used Adobe After Effects but used Final Cut Pro for the final product. This is evident as in the final piece as the quality of our production significantly improved with the use of more advanced software allowing for more and better functions. For example we could add text to our final piece and change colouration and huts, capabilities that we previously did not have access to.
We also decided to exempt techniques that we used in the preliminary from the final product as we feel it would ever not be necessary to the production or comprise the feel of the final product, as thriller have a certain feel to them, which we tried to capture properly.
The preliminary also featured mistakes, a major example of one is when a member of the group leg was in frame during a shot when it shouldn't have been, this helped out final piece as we were determined not to have any more mistakes, so spent more time and care on all stages of the production as to monism use the risks of error
As a whole I feel that I have made a considerable amount of progress, in terms of editing, filming and planning out a production, from the time I made the preliminary footage when I had relatively no experience with any of the stages of production to mow having a more thorough understanding of media processes, how to convey messages through them and how to tailor media products to particular audiences and their needs.
