Evaluation-Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task) What do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product.

From the beginning of this project, the first task we were set, was to do some preliminary work. From this preliminary work, it helped get used to the equipment and understand how to use the equipment correctly.

This is the camera that was used to collect all footage to film our product. it took time getting used to the camera, but once we had time to use it more and more, it got a lot simpler than at first.

This is thr tri-pod we used to help snap some of the shots. It helped take still shots and also slowmovement shots. The height of the tri-pod can increase and decrease, also the bit where the camera attaches also increases and decreases it its height.

After the preliminary work, we had to put ourselves in our groups and decide roles that people had to do. we had to decide who would do planning and organising and getting props etc. Once we had decided this, throughout the project, I wasn't getting along with my group members and it was causing arguments and I just couldn't communicate with them at all. So luckily enough I was able to join another group and they were kind enough to let me help and participate in their final project. By the time I had joined this group, all the filming had been retrieved and they had already begun on their filming. Once I had joined this group, all the roles of what to do had been already decided, so therefore, they then told me I could be co-producer. Laura, was the producer of everything and Nicloe was Director. I got to partcipate by helping to edit the film and from this, I found out key skills whilst editing, I learnt how to fade shots into other shots, cross-fading this is called. Also I learnt how to speed up footage and also decrease the pace of the footage. I also learnt how to do other features such as add music to footage, so overall I have learnt a lot from the editing part of the film and its a new experience I plan to use in the future.

From our film, we have made, it is possible to be continued and if we had the time and budget to do so, we would of. It is capable of making the rest of the film. It starts with someone being murdered and then eventually the killer would be revealed.

So overall, this project has been a difficult task to do. I have learnt many key skills, I have learnt a lot with the technology I would of never knew how to do, I hope to do something similar to this in work to come.
