The student learned several things from their preliminary task to the final product. They improved their use of continuity editing by ensuring consistent clothing and props. Sound quality was better by using a boom microphone rather than a small table microphone. Camera work and shots were more innovative by having more space to film. Image composition was higher quality by adjusting color, lighting, and image clarity. Continuity editing rules were followed and an eye line match was properly used in the final product.

1. Evaluation Question 7
Looking back at your preliminary task what do you feel you
have learned in the progression from it to the product.

2. Comparison
 On one hand there was our old preliminary task which
we filmed a few months prior to our actual thriller, it was
a task to try to use continuity editing correctly, however
this did not go to plan, we missed out on a couple of
parts to do with continuity editing. For example at one
moment a book appeared on camera from no where.
However with our final product we sorted out all
problems that we had with continuity editing as we
made sure that everyone had the correct clothes, we
made sure that there was nothing on camera that there
wasn’t supposed to be etc.

3. What has been learnt?
 Since the preliminary task I have learnt to use the
equipment better for example in the preliminary task
the sound quality wasn’t that great due to the fact that
as we were trying to record the sound we used a small
microphone and stuck it to the table, however as we
progressed onto using a boom microphone to record
sound in the actual product so therefore was able to
gather better sound.

4. What has been learnt?
 The camera work on the actual product is actually
much better than it was on the preliminary task as we
had more open space to film the product, we were able
to use more innovative shots to make the film much
more interesting.
 The composition of the image was that of a much better
quality as we were able to change around with the
colour and setting quality making the lighting better and
much clearer on a better quality.

5. What has been learnt?
 This time, in the product we used continuity editing
correctly, we did not break any of the rules, we also
managed to use an eye line match correctly.
