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

One thing in particular i learnt from our preliminary task was that if we spend more time planning it would be easier for us when we eventually came to filming our piece. For example, when we did the preliminary task we didn't do things like make a script which for this final piece we found to be vital if it was to be a success. A schedule was also devised so before we went into each lesson we knew what we had to do. This came about because when we did the preliminary task sometimes in lessons we didn't do alot because before hand we didn't know what we had to do that lesson. At the start of the preliminary task we only had one idea of what the footage was going to include. Also we produced a script and a camera angles plan to further aid our piece. This helped us because when we came to film it we knew exactly where the camera had to be so we could complete our filming quicker allowing more time for editing etc. Overall i think i have learnt most of all that a good preperation is key to a successful film.
