Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learned in the progression from it and the full product?
I think that i have progressed a lot since the Preliminary task we did a few months back, I used to find very simple skills like putting up a tripod a difficult task. I feel like after working with several other people i gained more skills after speaking to them and exploring different things in the tasks.
I have greatly improved on my camera skills, as I worked on the Thriller opening and did specific camera shots like the close up of the protagonists arm showing the blood, as I thought this would be an effective way of getting the genre across. What I've found is the camera work we used in the first task is much more basic that the camera shots we have used in our final task, it shows a great improvement.
The sound editing i thought was very complicated and didn't partake in as much as maybe the others did, although I did try and make an effort to learn, what i particular find difficult was cutting the sound clips and putting them to the shot at the right time, although I wasn't very successful at it I still tried to partake in it. However making the foley and sound effects I took part in and suggested creative ideas on how to achieve a good sound effect.
I found that I have become much more aware about Mise En Scene and how important it actually is in creating a film. Before i had never come across the term but now i understand that the way someone is dressed and the type of colours in a shot or where things are placed effect how a film comes across to people. In the first task we were not fully aware of the term so we did not apply it to the short sequence of shots, and I noticed it very quickly.
