What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
During the filming process I have now learnt how to use a camera properly in the process of filming. I now know that using a tripod is particularly essential to make sure film is captured in successful quality. Also if you want to create realistic shots you can use the camera handheld to make it out as if you are one of the characters and seeing things through their point of view and through their eyes, for example I now know to use it to create a drama in a chase scene. Using the editing software is an important process in the production of the film because it makes it more similar to modern day films, it also is essential to be smoothly edited to help erase mistakes or even notice them so that they can be filmed again. We used Final Cut Pro on the Apple Mac’s in college as our editing software and it has gave us the idea of the simplicity that can be developed within a film through using software such as we have.
Through filming we now know various filming techniques to use because of the technology we have used such as using key camera shots in filming and which would be the best camera shot to use. We also know how to make less mistakes when filming which we noticed through editing and have had to change certain things whilst filming these shots again. The software helped us create an authentic piece because through the importance of editing it helps condense time within our film to speed it up and get more action in within the 2 minutes we show. It also helps in that we use switches between shots for the audience to follow what is going on from different viewpoints on each character.

Looking back at the preliminary task, what do you think you have learnt from the progression from it to the full task?
The preliminary task was like a practise for us to get used to the software in editing, camerawork, sound, mise en scene and lighting. It prepared us for what we had to do for our main task and we could gain feedback from our teachers or classmates in what they thought of our preliminary task and what could be improved for our main task itself. We then carefully filmed the main task over a number of weeks until it was almost perfect as we knew what we had to do to improve our film from the preliminary task. The preliminary task was like a rough project used to set up for the main task and give us experience of what we had to do next time. We had to analyse it completely and even though it was a 30 second piece we gained an idea of how to complete a satisfactory piece within our main task to last 2 minutes.
