The document discusses the improvements in the student's skills from their preliminary task to their full final product. They learned to better plan and prepare, improved their time management, developed more advanced camera skills like tracking shots, learned about different types of shots and film opening conventions. Their editing skills in Premiere Pro became more advanced with effects, transitions, and audio mixing. For the final product, they considered their target audience and improved their lighting plan and used Final Draft to write their screenplay with proper formatting.

1. Evaluation Question #7
Looking back at your preliminary task, what
do you feel you have learnt in the progression
from it to the full product ?

2. Planning & Preparation
My skills in planning and preparation have
improved a lot since the preliminary task and so
the planning and preparation for the final product
was much easier and more effective. I did proper
research and paper work before shooting for my
final product e.g. Story boards are made, shot
division list and screenplay helped me on the
location because I knew what scenes were to be
shot.

3. Time Management
My time management has also improved since the
preliminary task because it helped me to realize that
once I finished filming and start editing my final
product I may need to re-shoot. So I must have ample
time to re-shoot and edit it.

4. Camera Skills
When filming my final product I used more camera
movements than in preliminary task such as tracking/dolly.
Video below will help to show how I did that.

5. When filming my full product I was thinking about
what different camera angles and shots to use
more than I was when filming my preliminary
task. I was thinking of the 180 degree rule and line
of action not to be crossed. I have used focus pulls
in my opening sequence.

6. Conventions of film opening sequences
In the preliminary task I did not do any research into
conventions of film opening sequences because it was
not needed but it was needed for the full product. I
tried different ways to make title of my opening
sequence. Finally ended up with Imovies.

7. Post production skills: Premiere pro skills
When doing the preliminary task I gained some basic
skills such as cutting with the help of razor tool in
premiere pro while doing my full product I developed
the basic skills and gained some advanced skills in it
such as special effects and transitions. I also learnt
how to put music on top of the action to add effect. I
learnt how to add tracks and how to work on audio
mixer in premiere pro.

8. How consideration of target audience
effected opening sequence ?
With the preliminary task I
didn’t have a target audience
so it doesn’t effected the
product but with the final
product I had a very specific
target audience and so
everything I did, I had to
think whether it fitted with
the target audience.

9. Lighting plan
Lighting in my prelim Lighting in my final product
03/13/14
When I was shooting my
preliminary video I had issues
with lighting sometimes it was very
bright and sometimes very dark.
Whereas in my final product I took care
of lighting to be constant overall in my
film, not too dark not too bright.

10. Screenplay
I wrote my script on Microsoft Word
while shooting my prelum.
Whereas while shooting my final product
I wrote my script on Final Draft because
it has a proper format. There are different
options for shots, action, character and
dialogues.
