Evaluation - Looking back At Your Preliminary Task, What Do You Feel You Have Learnt In The Progression From It To The Full Product

Improvements between the two films are easily visible and the improvement is clear to see.
The improvement that is most visible is the improvement in continuity. Where our Preliminary footage has the following continuity errors:

• Woman sitting at table disappears, then in next shot appears again. 
• Waitress takes order, then in next shot is immediately behind bar. 
• Woman closes menu, in next shot it is open again.
• It is sunny, then in next shot it is immediately evening. 

Whereas in our main footage, there are only:

• Man picks up brush from other side of mantelpiece 

This shows that we were able to improve our filming ability as the continuity is much better.

The shot positioning is also much improved from the Preliminary to the main as people are more central and general character positioning is much better.

Our editing ability was also much better from when we edited the Preliminary to the Main due to more experience and this results in the overall footage looking much better and smoother.

Our script work was also much better as we were able to make better narratives and better footage. Our use of shots also improved and we were able to use a wider range, for example, we didn't use an establishing shot in our Preliminary but we do in our Main footage.
In conclusion, we improved our filming, editing, and narrative techniques greatly from the Preliminary to the main task.
