1. Looking back at your
preliminary task,
what do you feel you
have learnt in the
progression from it
to the full product?
2. During my progression in making the preliminary task, I learnt how
to use continuity editing and understanding the sense of narrative.
The Mise en Scene in my pre task was to help the audience
identify the genre. This gave me an idea in what a film needs to
contain and look like a realistic film. I am new to media studies,
since I haven’t done this during GCSE. I am proud of the
development I have made since I have learnt fast and understood
some software’s. For example, using final cut pro has let me
identify how to edit and what buttons to press on the keyboard to
cut and paste. I have also used this time to practice in using the
software. In my pre task I have used and identified many shots
such as Shot reverse shot, Match on action, over the shoulder
shot, close ups and countless more. The pre task had a vital
impact on my film opening.
