Evaluation Question 7

7:Looking Back At Your Preliminary Task - What Do You Feel You Have Learnt In The Progression From It To Full Product 

We feel that we have learned a lot since our preliminary task in many different areas, we have developed as a group to improve our skills in all areas of film making and have gained confidence by doing so.

We have learned how to correctly storyboard and script a film which has a very high importance within film making as it helps you establish the structure and plot for the film. We have also improved our skills in camera work and deciding the correct angles and distances to use as you film, this has helped us spontaneously make modifications to our opening as we were filming it and therefore helped us improve our opening even more.

We have learned how to use Adobe After-Effects and a plug-in program called Mocha in which we managed to add a lot to the opening we wouldn't have been able to if we had not learned. We have learned how to use an editing technique called magic tracking which really helped us increase immersion as the titles were integrated into the film and placed on objects as opposed to being layered over the opening itself.

We have learned about the targeted audience for our genre and how to gain information as to how we can improve our opening or what appeals to certain people in which we can please a much wider target audience and still maintain the effect we wanted our opening to create.
