Preliminary task to the main product - what have we learnt?

There was a huge difference in the two pieces of work which were the plimary task and the actual video. the difference was the quality, length and storyline for example in our plimary task we used a simple location which was our college canteen and the reason being was that we could show our camera skills. Whereas in our actual coursework we had to pick a specific place, costumes, characters and a storyline which could be carried on. In our coursework we used a number of shots to gain higher marks which we did not do in the plimary task. We also used a number of different equipments which we didn't use in the first clip, so the quality was much better then the plimary task. We learnt a number of different things for example how to use the editing software and garageband where we created our music sound track and another thing which wasnt in our plimary task and is in our coursework is the text showing who the production was about and who were the directors and characters.

We also learnt the significance of high and low key lighting in the production process, as all of our filming took place outdoors, which is very different to being in a building with good lighting. so one of the problems we faced was the weather because we had to check the weather continuously due to our video being filmed outdoors.
Another thing that we did not do in our plimary task and we did do on our real task was the storyline, as in our real task we had a deeper storyline.


We worked harder at translating the script we had written into real inspired images. This was much more difficult, because we had to try and show the characters emotions and position in society through the four technical codes. So, in that respect, we have definitely learnt about character representations on screen.
