1. LOOKING BACK AT YOUR
PRELIMINARY TASK, WHAT
DO YOU FEEL YOU HAVE
LEARNT IN THE
PROGRESSION FROM IT TO
THE FULL PRODUCT?
By Alexandra Hacker

2.  I learnt how to use the camera and edit a small scene
together on the preliminary task, learning from mistakes I
made with continuity and lighting.

3.  I feel that I have learnt a lot since filming my first draft as well as I
chose to re-film and change my prequel completely due to the lack of a
narrative enigma.

4.  I have developed my editing throughout the process of this
project, learning how to use different
effects and techniques such as transitions and
sound editing to improve my product.

5.  I also learnt from researching other thrillers
that factors such as a narrative enigma and a
prequel that develops a sense of tension or hints
at future issues or action are often necessary conventions to follow.

6.  I think that my plan for my first prequel draft lacked detail resulting in
why I struggled to form
a clear enough plot.

7.  I also learnt that certain techniques, for example slower pans and
close ups can create different results, for instance building the scene
up to the climax.
