PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Task 7
How have you progressed on the course?
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?
Prelim Task
- Very basic shots
- 180 degree rule
- Easy editing
- Not very entertaining
- Doesn't 'please the audience.
Looking back at some of the work I did at the beginning of the course compared to what I have produced now, I am shocked (in a good way) with how far I have come.
For my Prelim task, I was taught about basic continuity and certain rules such as the 180 degree rule. I was also taught about certain shot types and how the camera could help explain a situation without words. Alas, even with this knowledge, my Prelim task was quite boring and didn't have a story. It also had next to no special effects to it and the editing was very basic. It was a good start for me

Opening Sequence
- Story Line
- Engages audience
- Editing was more complex
- Longer preparation was needed
- More creative
I feel that my opening sequence showed my creative side. I felt that it was much more entertaining than my prelim task. First of all, my opening sequence needed a story board so that we could plan everything out and have everything sorted when it came to filming, whereas with my prelim task, it was very much, think up on the spot of something interesting.
I've learnt how certain different shots can show more dynamic and make a scene look more fluid (match on action shot) this has helped me a lot with my opening sequence task because I feel it has made our material look more professional and more entertaining than it would with a static camera with only one shot type. I have also learnt about how important continuity is when filming.
For example, when I was filming for my opening sequence task, there were slight continuity errors because we had accidentally moved props and such, we later fixed this in editing, but this goes to show how much I have learnt with basic concepts such as continuity and how I have tried to apply them to our tasks.

Overall
- I have more knowledge in editing
- I know about pre-production, production and post production
- My knowledge of camera shots have grown
- Grown an awareness of how to engage the audience
Overall, I feel that I have progressed very well and I have improved in all areas of media. I had no knowledge of how to even using a Mac, so I feel that I have really come far.
I feel that the course has also helped me interact with people better and get my ideas across so that people can understand where I'm coming from and what I mean.
