Looking back at your preliminary task what do you feel you have learned in the progression from it to the product?
Looking back at the preliminary task, and comparing it to the final product i can see that there has been a lot of things that we have learnt along the way, for example looking back at the preliminary task we can see a lot of moments where the camera was shacking, this was down to the tripod being hit or kicked. As well as this there was the problem of shaky tracking shots. From this we learnt how to be more careful around the tripod as well as how to get a smooth tracking shot. The best way to get a smooth tracking shot is down to starting to record the tracking shot and turning the tripod round more, this is to avoid the jolt that you get when you first start moving the tripod, also it is helpful to carry on recording the tracking shot so that when you want to cut into another scene you don't get a jolted stop.
Another thing that we have learnt is how to edited better, comparing our preliminary to our final product we can see that the editing on the preliminary is basic sort of editing, with just straight cuts, however if we look at the final product we can see a whole rang of different types of edits, for example we used fades, dissolves as well as straight cuts. By doing this it makes the consumption of the product more smoother, as well as being my interesting to watch. Further more with the preliminary task we didn't know what we was really doing, where as on the final product we had a full idea of what we was going to do and how we was going to do it.
