Preliminary Task Conclusion

Preliminary Task Conclusion 

Essentially, the Preliminary Task is a practice task we need to make before our final idea of coursework. It allows us to see where we could make mistakes, adjust these and understand them before our final piece of coursework. The preliminary task required us to use a variety of camera angles and shots to showcase our ability. 

Our Preliminary Task was difficult to edit and film. One of our group members who we planned our preliminary task with was not in. Therefore, the two of our members left, quickly made up a new preliminary task idea and asked another member of our school to star in our Preliminary Task. 

Our concept was after eating some gum, it gave our friend Laura, super cool powers. She was then going to share this with her friend Freya when they had a conversation. This allowed us to complete all the shots that would be necessary in the Preliminary Task. 

We experienced difficulty when filming as we couldn't find a quiet area to film. We could fix this by choosing a better room/time to film at or in an our time so our own environments to film our Preliminary Task in. 

We also experienced some continuity errors. The way to fix this would be to take a picture of the initial shot. Therefore, we know the proxemics of the shot and the mis-en-scene and we are able to replicate this with ease. 

The Preliminary Task was tricky for us to edit as our school has lower budget editing software. By having this, it was tricky for us to edit our Preliminary Task professionally. However, we were able to add the credits that we wanted and after exporting, the footage was no longer jumping. 

When we were filming, we wanted to add music over the top. However, copyrighted music was off the cards and the school system blocked many of the websites.

Overall, I am happy with our preliminary task entitled 'Chew Chew Chew.' However, I would like our real coursework to not come into these errors.
