Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
I feel that I have learnt a lot since my preliminary task. Back
when I did the preliminary task I had very basic camera and editing
skills but with me having more time to create this final production I
feel that I have managed to better these skills. This is because I had to do quite a lot of camera shots myself and I was learning how to better position and utilize the lighting to get the best shots. I also learned to be better at editing by learning as I edited. This way I was able to learn at my own pace and I had better opportunities of using different effects and getting the timing right of the clips. I have also learnt firsthand that it is still better to use a tripod than not use a tripod. This is even particular with when I am walking and holding the camera as in my preliminary task when I was doing POV shots whilst walking the camera was far too shakey. However in The Enigma when I did this by also using the tripod and holding the tripod whilst I was walking the camera was much more steadier. I have learnt how to
use the camera more effectively to get the best shots and I have also
learned how too get the best out of the editing software. Also back in
my preliminary task I feel that my acting wasn't the best so I tried to
improve this for my final production.
