Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
In the preliminary task my group and I used several editing techniques such as dissolves, colour correction, video echoing, cross cutting and changing the pace of the shot, some of the relevent techniques were also used in the making of the opening sequence. In the preliminary task i personally learned the amount of shots needed to create a successful piece of film, for example shots such as graphic matches and jump cuts make the piece of film allot more appealing to the audience. We used a variety of shots in the final task from differt angles/perspectives to make the piece seem relaxed at times but also intence at others. Weaknesses of the preliminary task include different colour corrections, too many editing techniques used in a simple shot, these issues were addressed in the final task as only relevent shots had excessive editing, also the preliminary task had a certain section that was clearly fake ( this was the section in which the bullied girl gets run over ) in the final task as a group we planned carefully and made sure that no filming casualties took place and all shots were as realistic as possible.
In order to make a brilliant media piece the shots are vital, but also the editing must be completed cautiously to ensure that no mistakes are clear. The ammount of filming is critical in the media industry, with research showing that most visual media requires ten times the ammount of footage than the final product itself to make sure the footage is good enougth for presentation. This was our only real mistake with filming as we only had around double the ammount of footage than required.
