The document reflects on what the author has learned from their preliminary task to their full opening sequence product. They discuss improvements in their filming and editing skills in Adobe Premier. They also learned more about using fonts and titles to set the genre and attract audiences. Additionally, they discovered the importance of sound design and how it can enhance the atmosphere and narrative. While their preliminary did not include special effects, they feel adding them would have further improved the opening sequence. Finally, they note that the story and genre were clearer in the opening sequence compared to the preliminary task, due to increased planning and research.

1. Evaluation activity 7
Looking back at your preliminary task
, what do you feel you have learn’t in
the progression from it to the full
product

2. Technical/ filming work
• Regarding the standard of our preliminary
work I feel our filming has improved much
more. Our use of adobe premier has moved
on much more. As we practiced a lot with
editing our preliminary as the first shoot we
did went wrong when it came to the final
editing of our opening sequence our skills had
developed

3. Font’s/ titles
• Working on the opening sequence I learn’t
much more about font’s/ titles and ways in
which to edit these with moving image.
• I also discovered the importance of having
appropriate styles of font which will attract
the target audience and work in setting the
genre of the film

4. Sound
• As our preliminary task was a silent movie we
did not work with sound or dialogue. The use
of sound/ soundtracks was really exciting to
work with and revieving our final opening the
use of sound can really enhance the
atmosphere and narrative of the opening

5. Special effects
• Our preliminary did not use any special
effects, however neither did our final opening
sequence which I think if we had more time I
would change and improve the visuals of the
opening by working with special effects
• This I feel would of really pushed the standard
of our practical work up from were I was at
the stage when the preliminary was filmed
and edited

6. Story/ genre
• Reflecting back on the structure of our preliminary the
story/ narrative of the piece was very simplistic and
perhaps unclear to the viewer.
• In the opening sequence the storyline/ character has
been introduced in a much stronger way. The genre of
the film and persona of the main character, Steeze is
clear to the audience I believe this is because we did a
lot more planning and research for our opening that
we did for the preliminary task and had not defined
what genre of film interested us to re create and
explore the conventions of
