Q7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

During the progression from the premliminary task to the full product, there were clear differences in the amount of effort and work we put in for the preliminary task compared to the full product. These we hadn't considered, in terms of preparation, planning, time management etc.

We didn't think about managing time as effectively during the preliminary task because we felt we didn't need to do as much as we could have. This was because we felt pretty confident in our ability to produce a successful preliminary task without thinking to much about it. Admittedly, our preliminary task consisted of the three of us picking up our camera and filming on the day. For the full product however we did think about the time we had available to us which meant that we had planned out what wew were going to do and when we wanted a certain task done by. However, it didn't all go to plan due to room errors which meant that we fell behind schedule but besides that I feel that we have learnt the importance of time management and keeping on target as it can have serious consequences.

Similarly, during the preliminary task there was a lack of communication as we felt we didnt need to do much communication throughout the project. We raised our game during the full product however and created a group chat amongst ourselves so we could discuss anything related to the work ahead of us.

A lot of preparation and planning was undertaken for the full product. We researched everything that was relevant to our work - camera shots and angles, how we could edit and how we could stick to the conventions of our film opening's genre. This was a far greater amount of effort put into the planning and preparation of our preliminary task, where we put a miniscule amount of effort into the work ahead of us. Organisation too had drastically improved from the preliminary task to the full product. This was because we had realised a tremendous amount of effort was needed for the project to run smoothly.
