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

Since doing the preliminary task i have learnt about lots of editing and camerawork rules that you must follow in order to have a successful film. I learnt that the 180 degree rule is key to making your opening sequence easy to understand, if you go over the 180 line then the audience will be confused as to what side your character is on and it can confuse your film entirely. We also had to work with continuity a lot because we had to film and edit on lots of different days we had to make sure that we were wearing the same clothes/shoes had the same hair and makeup etc. This would have been a big flaw in our opening sequence if we had not of concentrated on it as the film would have looked untidy and unfinished. We also had to concentrate on match on action shots to make the editing more appealing and to show a variety of cinematography skills. In our preliminary task our match on action wasn't up to very good standards as we hadn't edited the right amount of shots in. I developed my camera skills and editing skills since the preliminary task and made sure that everything was shot continuously and edited continuously to make our film flow and have no gaps that would not be understood by the audience. We made a mistake in our Preliminary task of not oncentrating on continuity. We had a character missing in one of our shots:
We made sure that in our final opening sequence that we didnt have any charcaters missing from shots and that it was a continuous piece of work.
