Question 7

Looking back at your preliminary task, what have you learnt in this progression from that to the final product

The preliminary task

As a group we was sort of nerves about the final vide and how were going to film it how were going to act and how were going to get ready for it. Therefore the preliminary gave us as a group a boost of confidence and more skills. For some of us in the group was the first filming ever, and those ones we helped each other in any way possible to get the most of each other’s skills of filming and acting. As a group because it was some of us first time filming and acting I personally think that we have done well with the filming and acting and also the editing the cuts to that it blends with each clip. In the preliminary we had the chance to get a turn each on acting and filming which gave us a idea what it feels like. First of all we did one video which Sana and Jamiul played in while Iram and I was directing and filming. Then we swapped around and everyone done a part each and experienced how it is.

The good and bad elements of our preliminary

One of the best ways of working as a group is because we can share our work and also share ideas. We also got closer as a group and started to communicate together which also helped us get our work done.

I was very surprised the amount of work and plan that needed to be done behind ay filming or movie. I also gained a lot of information about the film industry

One of the other positive thing about the preliminary video was to gain some skills in some of the programs like final cut which we used it to cut the clips and blend it. This new skill that I gained will also be useful in the future for my education.

Because we was a group and we worked as a group in some of the days there was one of us not in so we had some problems with the attendance of our team members.

I also struggled to get used to blogger and the way it was used, therefore I spent a lot of time getting used to blogger and the way its used.

I personally didn’t know what I was doing including blogging however I think I went back in track quick and stated to blog well enough. However if I know the end was going to be like this and we was going to use blog I could of made my blog better and planned out more before doing it, which would of made it more quality.

Overall I was pleased with the course, it was a different way of doing coursework but it was different. I am also pleased that I gained a lot of knowledge from this course, which will be helpful in the future of my career or education.

Where we happy with the preliminary video?

As a group we all was happy with the final outcome. Because it was our first film that we acted on we was proud of what we have achieved. Well I was proud. When we watched it back it seemed like it was done professionally and that’s probably because the angels of the camera was done well and the editing cuts was well cut.
