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

Looking back at the Priminary task that i created i have learnt that working in a group is a good idea, as you are able to share things out so there isn't as much work to do, also it helps as there are a lot more ideas to bring to the table. When we were told what we had to do for our final piece i thought that creating a two minute sequence really wouldn't be that hard after making the Priliminary as that took no time at all, however, i realised it was a lot harder. In the priliminary task we have a far amount of issue that we needed to adress in our final piece these being,
- Making sure everyting was the same in each shot ?
- Have a various of shots been used?
- Has a tripod been used properly ?

So in the opening sequence none of these accured. Due to the Primliminary only being 10/15 seconds the narrative was really easy to come up with, whereas to come up with a narrative for a 2 minute squence was a lot harder.
When it came to the shooting as a group we tried to get everything done on the same day, however, this didn't seem to work. We got to the place we were originally filming the whole sequence, Ferry Meadows, but it ended up that we could not because of many reason. One being that we didn't think the forrest was really good enough for what we wanted but the park however was very good and met our critiera exactly. Another issue we had was that the camera died so we didn't actually get to finish the filming, but in the end this happened to go in our favour. Compared to the Priliminary this was alot different due to the fact that the camera didn't get used that much for so long as it was a short amount of footage.

During th filming of the Priliminary the Storyboard was used but it wasn't needed that much as not many shots were needed to be filmed, whereas when it came to the final piece the storyboard was used a fair bit in the start of the filming, however, when we changed our idea we just wrote down on a scrap piece of paper what shots we wanted and how we wanted it to look so everything would be filmed and nothing would be forgotten. This was a good idea as it didn't take up filming and editing time byt re-doing the whole storyboard in the such small time scale we had, but it also meant that nothing was forgotten when filming and it meant all the editing was great. All in all i am very happy of my groups final piece i believed that we all worked well together and it meant that we had a very interesting final opening sequence and the hard work paid off.
