4. Preliminary Task Media Product
The brief was to create a short video
of someone walking through a door,
closing the door and then having
some sort of conversation. We
needed to include ‘shot-reverse-
shot’, ‘match on action’ and a 180
degree rule.
The brief was to create the opening

Things I have learnt!
6. I was elected team leader at the start of the course
and I was able to maintain a steady pace for reaching
deadlines and I felt that my group was able to reach
most deadlines with good quality work.
We worked together to get everything done on time
and to a good quality.

together?
8. I learnt how to adjust the volume on each individual
clip.
For example, on the clip of the bus, we had some
trouble with the wind but we still wanted the sound
of the bus so we adjusted the volume on the clip,
emphasising the engine and muting the wind.
Sound
9. I learnt how to frame clips.
The clips in the film line up well concluding in having
good continuity throughout the opening two
minutes.
Framing
10. I learnt how to input moving and still images into
Corel.
I uploaded the two distribution companies which are
just simple JPEG’s and uploaded all the clips filmed
using a canon camera.
Image/Video Input
11. I learnt how to use a variety of transitions like ‘fade’
and ‘cross fade’ .
The transition, ‘fade’, is the most common transition
used to gently move from one clip to another.

12. Throughout the course, we encountered many
barriers. As team leader, I had the responsibility to
take control of how to reduce and resolve the
barriers faced.
We faced many barriers like:
Not being able to use a location.
Misunderstanding and lack of communication.

13. I called team meetings to discuss how these barriers
would be faced and made sure that everyone had a
turn in speaking and expressing there ideas.
