Question 7

Firstly, the process of planning for my preliminary task, I felt it was very detailed and I had to think about different aspects which I would have to use in my final product, that would make it look better overall, there was a lot of technical or non-technical components that were needed for the final preliminary task, furthermore I had to make sure that my storyboard was ready before my filming took place however I learnt that even with a completed storyboard ideas can change and I think this gives the film a lot more of a creative aspect and there was always space for tweaks and improvements.

Secondly, when I began filming for my preliminary task I had to include specific shots that the exam board had given me, which were; over the shoulder, 180 degree rule and shot reveres shot. Although in my final horror film that I have done I could choose what shots, angles and transitions I want to use.

Finally, when editing I didn’t have a clear understanding of final cut pro and what worked well and didn’t, so I spent a couple of hours just checking on YouTube, Google and on the product itself of what the effects, colours and buttons did, however I am now very aware and have a good understanding of the way the editing process works so I could complete my final horror film in a confident way, as I had used the software in my preliminary.
