Evaluation - Looking back at your preliminary task ( the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

Picture 1- I really like this unique shot from my preliminary task
Picture 2 - Long shot from the preliminary task.

                                                                                   

The following pictures show some of the transitions and shots that we used for our opening sequence we had a lot more techniques and transitions and more precise cuts from my preliminary. Which mage the whole effect and execution run more smoothly and look more professional.

 

Here is the "Wash In" transition we used in our Opening Sequence.

Here is a close up of Beth Marwolaeth.

Here is the establishing shot of Beth Marwolaeth.





Overall I have learnt so much from the preliminary task and have learnt how to execute certain shots and how to resolve problems when filming.

The camera work for our Opening Sequence was considerably better. After re-watching my preliminary task it made me realised how much I have improved. For example the zoom was really messy and some of the shots were really unsteady. The editing of my preliminary was more messy than the opening sequence. There are parts where the music clashes and some of the shots are not very smooth. The improvement of my transitions and timing have improved. Although the preliminary was a practise it was really helpful for me to practise the 180 degree and the match on action. I found the match on action shot the hardest to execute as it was really hard to get the timings right. The 180 degree was easier than the match on action shot. But it was really helpful to understand what a real film company would do and why.

Here is a short film that we have made about our own independant views on our opening sequence compared to our preliminary and what we have gained from our preliminary.
