Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
From fulfilling the Preliminary task and the Opening sequence I have learnt to make good quality titles for films. During the preliminary task we just used the premier pro "add titles" function which was a very basic tool, which comes across from the titles we made for it. However for the opening sequence task we chose to use a much more professional technique to create our titles. We did this by using the program After Effects, which enabled us to animations and different colours and patterns etc, and use different methods of fading in and out the text with different motions..
For our opening sequence we used a yellow flash as it resembled that of a lightening and electricity, which we thought was a good way to represent the new technologies that we have used to enable us to create such a high standard of work.
As we used the cameras and tripods in the preliminary task we were brand new to this technology so the quality wasn't very high, however as we continued to us it through to our opening sequence task we became much more understanding of how to use it to get the best results, therefore we became much more confident using the cameras. I believe this is shown through the much better quality of our opening sequence task compared to our preliminary task.

In our preliminary task there were some camera shakes, however they were not purposeful, it was just down to our lack of knowledge of the cameras. This made the footage seem very unprofessional and not what we were trying to achieve. Whereas, in one of our scenes from our final product, we used the camera shake on purpose to show that the character Chloe was in a state of intoxication. With us gaining more and more experience of filming and editing we were able to create many high quality scenes and shots, especially the scene with characters Cleo and Cameron running up the stairs.
In our preliminary task we decided to develop our characters and portray how they were feeling in the footage. We achieved this by editing Lakeisha's hands and feet fidgeting a lot to show that she was feeling anxious and worried about her job interview. We did this again with our opening sequence task, but we ensured we did it with a lot more skill as we wanted it to be of a much higher standard than our preliminary task. So for the character of Chloe we filmed her smoking o cigarette to show that she was stressed and panicked so she used the nicotine to try and calm herself down.
From comparing the two tasks together I can see how much positive progress we have made, both together as a group and individually. As we have become more confident and skilled at using the cameras, tripods and all the different editing software.
