Sadie's Evaluation. Question 7

Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?




Above is links for both my perliminary task, and our finished media product. I believe that there a substantial improvments in the second video, showing how my camera angles, camera shotss and concept have all progressed quite well.


In my perliminary task there are quite a few obvious problems for example;


-The sound levels are terrible with an odd reverb making the overall outcome seem tacky

-The camera isn't as high a quality to that of the SLR we used, and i think that again this decreases the professionalness

-The continuity isn't brilliant and i don't think runs as smoothly as our final product, however i have learnt from here and believe this perliminary was a good place to start and really helped me.

-This lack of any form of introduction ie. the dialouge was scripted badly, alongside the lack of typography or text.

-I think the colouring isn't as effective either, as its colours were plain and flat, where as on our final product we attemtped to get a different atmosphere and sense of something deeper, and this is by fare more effective.


Although i think that this wasn't a great attempt, i'm still happy as everyone has to start somewhere and it could have gone a lot worse.

I believe that this in-depth knowledge on camera angles and shots helped me greatly within our final outcome as i had great understanding and knew what we needed to do to make this professional.

However this didn't go entirely to plan, as two very artistic visual people, my partner Vicky and I had a vision, and even though i am relatively happy with our final result, in my mind things didn't go to plan or some out quite as well as i had anticipated.
This could be down to being a little bit to precocious. We had this plan to do something different and although we knew it would be a challege we thought we would have been able to handle it better than we did, because of actors dropping out and letting us down, out editing software taking such a long time and the fact that we didn't particularly always have the patience for this, retrospectively this was slightly disasterous. Looking on the bright side though, we finally have an end product, a lot of thought and time has gone into it and i believe it is a much better standard that that of our perliminary task, ever if it wasn't quite as amazing as our expectations.
