1. 6. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel
you have learnt in the progression from it to the full
product ?
Looking back on the preliminary task and my final product I can see
how far my group has progressed in both editing and filming. I have
learnt how to develop and achieve different angles and camera shots.
For example, in our prelim we only used three different shots; 180
degree rule, match on action, and shot reverse shot. In our final
product, we used all three of these rules plus a range of different
shots and angles such as pan and tilt.

2. The prelim was an opportunity to become familiar with the equipment. If our
group did not familiarise ourselves with it, we wouldn’t of been able to
complete our media product to the best of our ability. For example, in our
prelim we had to cut a lot of our footage, this meant that when it came to our
main task it helped us know what we wanted to cut and keep in our product.
As well as this, in our prelim we were uncertain on some of the tools that
Imovie had to offer. However, we gradually learnt all the tools that could
improve the quality of our film opening and make it seem more realistic. This
includes transitions, fonts, colours, and sound.

3. Our film being a supernatural thriller meant that we wanted to follow the
typical conventions within this genre. This meant that creating suspense
within our film was key. We did this by producing music full of tension,
speeding/slowing down different shots, and sticking to a dark colour scheme.
