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

Shot 1, shot 1 shows our use of overt editing. The image on the left of shot 1 shows our inability to effectively alter the saturation of our film. It is clear that the saturation in the image to the left has been overly altered. This has effected the quality of the piece making it appear poor quality and unprofessional. The shot on the right evidences clear improvements in our ability to alter shot saturation. Rather than attempt to overly alter the saturation we have used it to improve the quality and make it appear to be of a professional quality as appeared to the amateur quality of that of the shot on the left.

Shot 2, shows the use over over the top shots. In the shot on the left showing footage from our prelim task we can see that the camera is positioned inaccurately resulting in the camera being tilted to one side. This makes the shot appear of a amateur quality and takes the audience attention away from the two characters in the shot to the poor position of the camera. In the shot to the right from Rags to Riches we can see clear improvements in the quality of the shot. Firstly, the camera is positioned straight as a posed to one side, in addition the cars are positioned in the centre of the shot focusing the audiences concentration of the car as intended rather than else where.

Shot 3, shows our use of match on match action. In the shot on the left we can see that in our prelim task we were not able to perform match on match action very well. This is because the shot showing the character entering the room is not clear. This is because the camera position is set to far back from the door not making the shot clear. In addition the extreme change in saturation between the opening of the door and entering of the room makes the shots appear too far apart. The shots on the right taken from Rags to Riches  shows vast improvement in the use of match on match action. Firstly because of the position of the camera, the camera is position as such to achieve maximum effectiveness from the shot the position of the camera is from behind the character making it clear that the character has only moved a little whereas the camera has changed position. Also the same saturation avoids drastic changes in the shot avoiding making it clear that the shots are showing the the same movement.
