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

I think that I have improved a lot since my preliminary task compared to my thriller opening, especially as I used a range of different camera shots, editing techniques. I have also developed a lot in my editing skills, even though i have an Apple mac at home, i had never really used iMovie so I have learnt a lot during this production. I have learnt that i do not make sure I over do it with editing such as adding transitions, but if I add a transition i need to make sure that it is a either a fade to black, or a fade to white. I also learnt how to add music over the dialogue and how to remove sound.

I also learnt how to make my thriller look realistic by not adding to many special effects, which in turn would make it look fake.

During my preliminary task, I near enough had no experience in filming or editing, but i felt as if i did a rather good job. As i used effective camera shots, such as over the shoulder camera shot, this shot shows the audience who someone is talking to. From looking back at my thriller I can see that i have progressed a lot, from my prelim.
