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

Our preliminary task, the continuity project, was something that was indeed not the worst thing in the world, but it was consistently flawed. Despite its subject as a continuity project we still had multiple continuity errors in our project, this due in part to bad planning, we filmed practically the minimal amount, and not fully understanding the technology filmed quite late at night which created a very saturated and reddish glow to our work. Regarding this when we filmed our final project we took every experience we had into respect, we planned massively, and filmed massively. for every couple of seconds or minutes of footage we needed we filmed it at least three or four times. In the end this played to our advantage, at one point when we found a prop had somehow changed hands it almost seemed impossible to correct, until out of sheer chance we checked the footage and found that we had indeed filmed with the prop in the correct hand, this shows that truly over filming is one of the most important things you can do and it is vital that you do it as it can easily correct any errors. We also managed our time better being that we filmed outside during the day forgetting about trying to use darkness after we found out what it does to the camera quality, doing this we got a really good clear image outside in comparison to what we ended up with last time which was a saturated and awful quality to watch. Overall i would say over the course of the subject we have picked up many tips and strategies that we utilised in our final project which not only saved us from a few situations but also improved the overall general quality of the final piece.
