Evaluation: Question 6

 How have your skills developed from the preliminary task?

After doing the preliminary task all of us as a group have learnt new skills involving our filming ways such as holding the camera steady and making sure that the frame is straight and correct.

As you can see the framing makes the room look like its on a tilt and by watching this back we learn that we had to improve up on our framing of shots so when it came to our final product we found that our framing was much better and the shots looked much more straight.

As you can see the framing looks much more better here and looks straight compared to before in the preliminary task.

 Another thing we learnt from doing the preliminary task was the mistake we made of sitting someone in front of the window, which meant that it was very difficult to make out what was on the screen watching it back as the lighting was extremely dark.

This is a example of how the image came out due to the lighting and the fact we filmed megan with a window behind her, as you can see its quite hard to make out all the detail and facial expressions and this is something we made sure that we watched out for whilst doing our final product.

This is an example of the lighting in our final product and as you can see it is much better and much more enjoyable for the audience to watch. 

Overall I think that the preliminary task has benefited us as a group because we have learnt what we need to improve whilst using a camera and filming. Also I felt that our preliminary task looked very messy whereas our final product looked much more professional and more like how footage should be filmed with better shots and framing.
