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

Since making my preliminary task I feel I have learnt a lot in all areas. Firstly, I know the importance of thoroughly planning my sequence. For our preliminary task we had to re-shoot three times and i feel that this was greatly down to not enough planning, therefore when it came to my thriller opening I realised how important it was too plan all angles, which didnt just mean storyboards, but scrips, locations research, costume, props, etc.

Also, in the progression from my priliminary task to my thriller opening I feel I have made progress as a person too. As mentioned above, we had to re-shoot our preliminary task numerous times and this was not only time consuming but fraustrating too. However, when it came to shooting our thriller openings I realisedthe importance of shooting more footage, as much as it took to show that I had worked to the best of my ability.

However, drawing skills that I had learnt whilst making my preliminary task, I feel that the focus of continuity editing was also shown in my work, making it look smoother and more effective. For example, we used a lot of match on action, as can be seen from the images below:
