Evaluation Question 7

Personally I have progressed a lot since the preliminary task. I have done a lot more filming in this project, this is mainly due to the fact that I was acting in the preliminary task. I have enjoyed the creative freedom of this task compared to the first one as I enjoy creating artistic shots and doing something different. This has allowed me to express myself more and naturally be more of a leader and the project in the direction I envisioned it to look like. I am pleased with this as leadership is one of the things I have lacked in previous projects.




I now feel more comfortable behind the camera and my skills have improved greatly. I have been much more organised in during this project, this is shown by the orderly nature of my blog and by the that I contributed a lot to the research and planning stage for the group.

From the preliminary task I have learnt that it never harms to take more footage than you need as it gives you more options when capturing and editing. The experience that we gathered from our preliminary task about continuity aide us in shooting a flowing sequence with no obvious breaches of the rules. The example of continuity in our film is the gate sequence which flows seamlessly and shows many match on actions that match perfectly.

I am so pleased with the outcome of our sequence that I truly believe that there is nothing that I would change with the benefit of hindsight. This is backed up by the lack of negative feedback from our audience at the screening. The result is much better than our preliminary sequence, this may be due to the lack of creativity compared to the 'The Case', though.

I am now a much more rounded Media student with more experience in film making than I did prior to the coursework assignment. In conclusion, I am extremely pleased with our opening sequence and equally happy with my overall progress both in technical terms and in confidence that I can make a successful product.
