What have you learnt by doing this exercise?
I learnt that when my filming for short times across many days I have to make sure that both of my characters is are wearing the same clothes and I shouldn't let them keep changing as this makes the film disjointed. I also learnt to get lots of different shots so that then when editing I have a wider variety to choose from. I also learnt, while filming, that I had to always make sure that my actors, when filming the same scene again and again, should always walk or be on the same side so when it comes to the final product it doesn't confuse the audience.
What skills have you developed?
I learnt that using iMovie was too basic and when it came to editing and uploading onto Youtube the quality wasn't up to scratch. To overcome this problem I downloaded Final Cut Express 4 which is more professional and when uploading onto Youtube gives much greater quality.
What feedback have you received?
I asked my target audience for the preliminary, which was male teenagers what they thought of Jake 16:3. I was very pleased with the feedback I received but there is clearly room for improvement when it comes to the opening sequence.
"Expansive variety of shots were intriguing"
- Arthur Bean - 17
"Religious connotation in soundtrack helped the sequence greatly"
- Max Fox - 17
"The continuity was a bit off but an interesting preliminary"
- Charlie Whitfield - 16
"The last two shots really captured the emotion of Jake very well. Well done!"
- Sulaiman Khan - 17
"I liked the opening sequence but I think that the storyline was quite confusing"
- Jack Wallace -17
How would you improve your preliminary task?
To improve my preliminary task I would like to increase the overall quality of my piece. This ranges from storyline to number of complex shots. I believe that I am ready to take the step technological step up to Final Cut Pro for my opening sequence and this should greatly assist me in my quest to build upon what I have learnt in my preliminary task.
