The author reflects on learning from their preliminary task to the final product. For the preliminary task, they did in-camera editing by simply stringing together film clips and adding audio. However, for the final product they captured all filming at once and then edited using software, allowing for effects like smoother transitions, fades, and flashes. They also paid more attention to the mise-en-scene of shots, making them more believable by choosing appropriate locations and costumes rather than being limited in the preliminary task.

1. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product? Peter Gatling Evaluation

2. In our preliminary task we used the technique of in camera editing so we therefore only had string the pieces of film together and add a simple audio track then piece was complete Where as in the final product we chose to capture all the filming we needed at a certain time and then edit it all using the software at a later stage. By doing this we were able to play around with effects more allowing us to create smoother transitions between shots and add fades and flashes seen here Preliminary task Hammer film product

3. Also since progressing from the preliminary task have played a lot more attention to the mis en scene if certain shot therefore making them more believable and not limiting us from the usual shot that we were able to do In the preliminary task we were limited to doing a romantic encounter as teenagers in a less romantic location as that all we were able to do at the time Where as in the final production piece we were able to really get involved with the mis en scene of the shot and bring in costumes such as forensic science suits and business suits to give our characters the appearance of being forensic detectives and police detectives rather than the teenagers that we really were. As well as having the freedom to be able to choose the perfect location and create the mis en scene accordingly
