Prelim Task- Evaluation Questions

1.Which aspect of the planning did you find valuable? Explain.
2. What did you learn about camerawork during the practical filming of the preliminary task?
3.How did the editing process contribute to your understanding of the construction of a media task?
4. What are your overall impressions of the construction of your media text in your group?

1. Using the storyboard to begin planning was very useful because it gave you the opportunity to get an idea of what different types of camera shots to use and thinking about which locations would be the most suitable when filming the sequence.

2. I learnt how to hold and position the camera but most of all I learnt that camera work can be very time consuming and it is not as easy as it looks, for example many retakes had to be done to make sure that there were a variety of shots to choose from. When we filmed for the first ,it did not take very long to complete and we uploaded it very quickly unto the computer. Unfortunately, we discovered that the film had not been saved properly on the computer, so this meant that we had to film the sequence again. It did not take a long time to complete as we knew what we had to do so filming it again was quite straight forward.

3.The editing process was equally both interesting and beneficial in terms of understanding more about the construction of the sequence. It was exciting to watch the sequence being played because it showed that we had included a good range of shots and it looked quite realistic. It took more time during the editing process that the actual filming because editing requires a lot of time and you have to be very precise when cutting out the scenes you do not want to use at the correct time.


4. I think that the camerawork was done very well and suitable shots were used howeverI feel that a longer time spent filming would ensure that other types of shots could be included and perhaps the sequence could be a bit longer.
