Preliminary Task Evaluation

Evaluation of Preliminary Task.

 

Whilst filming the preliminary task lots of things went well such as, we learnt the basics of filming with the camera and putting it into focus and how to pan the camera and zoom the picture without it jumping or looking unprofessional. Also we used the angles which we learnt can portray a characters power or where they are in a hierarchy. Such as a high up shot showing that a character has less power and authority than the person they are talking to. We also followed the criteria and had one person walking through a door and then having dialogue with the other character. Also after filming we picked up skills on editing on the programme Adobe Premiere Pro which is what we have to use for our main task as well. The skills we picked up were cutting each different scene so they linked up well and looked professional and not jumpy.

 

However we also found some things which we would not do again such as in one shot we kept the shot out of focus until the person had stopped talking. Although we did this on purpose it was a test to see what it would look like and whether it would work for the main task but after analysing the prelim and evaluating it we decided it didn’t work well so we won’t use it again. Another thing we realised we could of done better after watching our task back is that in some shots there were lots of background noise and when we next film we will have to be more careful and make sure there isn’t as much background noise for our main task.
