Looking back at my preliminary task and comparing it to the standard of my work now I feel a lot more confident in planning and producing a short film. I am able to take everything that I have learnt from the preliminary task and use it to my advantage by learning from my mistakes. There are some new things that I have learnt about codes and conventions which has inspired me to ensure that I can use them in my film as they play a big part of the interpretations made by the viewers.
I have learnt a lot of things along the way but most importantly I have learnt what affect different types of camera shots and angles can have in a scene. By learning all of the shots and knowing when to use a particular shot is vital when recording because it allows you and the viewers to see things from a different prospective.
In addition to the importance of different camera shots and angles I have also gained knowledge in terms of how sound can change the mood of the scene. The use of diagetic, non-diagetic and foley sounds are all things that can be incorporated in to a scene which allows the producer to make the viewer to gain a better understanding of what's going on in the scene. I was highly inspired by a clip on YouTube that played a scene with sound and without sound, this allowed me to see the differences and what impact sound can have on a scene. Sound is a key aspect of my film and I have included different sounds and short pieces of music at specific points of the film, this allows me to inflate the image of the scene.
Moreover, the most crucial aspect of filming is the editing which is done on final cut x. Once I first done my preliminary task I wasn't sure on how to use it and what tools would allow me to improve the content of my film; since then I have been using this program on a weekly basis to edit my film and I have also found what affects different tools have, for example by adding a short transition which fades to black makes the transition between scenes a lot smoother instead of just cutting from one scene to the next.
Lastly, understanding the media that is presented to us in the real world allowed me to receive and extract important presentation techniques that I could use to make my film a lot better in terms of quality. By keeping up to date with the media it has allowed me to grasp the key concept of how industries sell and what they do to influence to whom it may concern. By doing this I am able to then mirror their skills used in order to create a good, high quality final product. I can also use these skills to make more short films which allows me to show my ability in media therefore others can gain inspiration from my work.
