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

I feel that from the preliminary task I have become a lot more confident and good at editing continuity sequences such as match on action. 

Lewis's match on action wit his
running. His Right foot goes up..

Here his right foot lands

And here his left foot is being brought up to run on.

I also feel that progressing from this I have learnt on shoots to always automatically check continuity such as the 180 degree rule. 

I definitely feel the reccie done by Sam was very beneficial, as it meant we could get a feel of where we were shooting before actually going there and we could picture it easier in our minds to then portray onto the storyboard. 


I also learnt that it is much better to get too much footage than too little, and as well as using a shot list, be spontaneous as well -as a lot of the best footage comes from this. 

In the editing process I learnt that having a timeline for each group member was good, as it allowed us to experiment and then come together and put all the things we unanimously liked together to create the final piece. 

Working as a team can get frustrating at times, but in hindsight I think we delegated jobs efficiently, working to everyone strengths but also allowing them to improve on their weaknesses. 


Me and Sam unfortunately had to miss the last week of editing and so had to trust Lewis and James to finish it for us, we made sure we stayed in contact throughout the week and was so was there to give any advice if they ever needed it.
