What we have learnt
To begin with we learnt a lot from the mistakes in the pleminary task. Our pleminary task was really bad, but had signs of great potential. We were not very good with the camera shot, the acting was bad and the camera man had no idea of what he was doing. Once we finished the pleminary task we had learnt how to avoid these problems and how to actually create a piece that would impress not only the examiner but our class. As seen in the pictures below we had made some mistakes with the 180 degree rule, but also pulled off an excellent match-on-action shot.
Our biggest problem however, was the camera shaking our camera man even with the tripod couldn't stop the camera from shaking, this was a massive problem this was something that couldn't happen in our actual task and thanfully with more practice and a shot we found very handy the POV. Also the pleminary task allowed us to find out new things about imovie like how to mute all sound in the movie and manipulate the visuals to look darker or brighter. The most important thing we learnt was how to piece together a movie that would make sense to the audience, by this I mean where a sequence of events are pieced together in a logical order.
Another shot that again worked well for us and this was all thanks to the practice that we had when doing the pleminary task. Without that experience are movie wouldn't be very successful at all. Once we asked for a better tripod and managed to figure out how the camera worked and sorted out what mode the camera should be on, we finally had the confidence to go on and film our opening scene.
