Evaluation Question 7: Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

I feel that I have learned a lot since the preliminary task and I have made immense progress from it. Here is how I believe I have demonstrated my learning since the preliminary task and how it shows in our group's final product:

HOW HAVE I PROGRESSED?

Overall, I think that I have made significant progress since doing the evaluation. The prelim was a fantastic starting point for me as a newcomer to Media Studies and helped me garner the basic skills and knowledge of fundamental film making. Since the prelim, I have learned many more skills, notably in the realms of :

• Grading - I have a good grasp of how to give my footage a colour gradient and the emotional effect it can have on an audience through the tone it creates.
• Sound mixing - I now know how to tone down moments of high volume and keep the audio consistent.
• Camera movement and framing - whilst our prelim had unimpressive framing and no camera movement, my work on the project taught me stylistic ways a camera can be used.
