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

Since I shot my preliminary task I believe the quality of my camerawork has come on in leaps and bounds due to the things I have learnt along the way. One aspect that I believe I have improved from my preliminary task is framing; in my preliminary task I did not make use of the rule of thirds and I didn't pay much attention to where the different aspects of the shot were in the frame. After the preliminary task however I learnt how to utilise the rule of thirds and how to improve my framing. I believe that this is very apparent when comparing my preliminary task to my final piece.

I have also learnt a number of different editing techniques which I believe have improved the quality of my work greatly. For example in my preliminary task, all I did was cut the clips together into a sequence with match on action included. Between then and producing my final piece I have learnt how to use a number of different editing techniques such as applying filters and colour balancing my footage; I believe this has given my final piece a much more sophisticated and professional look.

As part of my audience feedback I asked a section of my target audience whether they could notice a change in the overall quality of production from my preliminary task to my final piece. All of them agreed that there was a clear improvement in quality and that this showcased the progression I have made from when I produced my preliminary task to when I produced my final piece.
