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

From the preliminary task, I feel that I have learnt that the editing process is a lot more complex than what we did for the prelim. The editing is very complex as you are always finding new ideas of what to do and how to improve the film. I also feel that my camera work has improved a lot and that I have now learnt a lot more about editing films and how to use the software

I have learnt that the filming process is a lot more complex and involved than I thought. The director has to say; "quiet on set" than a clapper board is used and you have to wait a few seconds before starting to film the actual scene.

The process film makers have to go through is a lot more complicated than I thought. You have to take loads of shots of the sae scene to make sure you have enough in case one isn't good and others are. You also have to make sure the cast know what they are doing and how they are standing, the lighting, etc to make sure the film can be as professional as can be.

I have learnt a lot more about the audiences that would view certain films. I have also learnt a lot more about the typical conventions shown in different film genres and how they are used and challenged from film to film. I have learnt that you really need to think about your specific target audience when filming and editing the film in order to attract them to watch it.
