Preliminary Reflection
1. What did you learn in pre production that you will consider in your actual c/w?
-We found out that it can be quite hard to organise a group of people to all be in one location, we realised this as we were going to film at Harry's house however not everyone could make it therefore we had to film in school.
2. What did you learn in production that you will consider in your actual c/w?
-We decided that we won't be filming in doors as you have to be very cautious about the lighting as we noticed in the last 3 shots, the lighting changed making the background look very yellow and in the next shot, very pale due to the positioning of the camera.
3. What did you learn in post production that you will consider in your actual c/w?
-Because we are using a DSLR to film, we have to import it to final cut in a different way as the DSLR films in a different format and can therefore cause problems if we didn't change it to ProRES 422.
-It can take a while to make the editing seem continuous and could potentially mean we would have to re-film several times.
4. Identify any mistakes you made or what you would do to improve if we're to do the preliminary again
- When filming, we didn't account for the lighting and therefore, it breaks continuity as the colours keep changing. We would change this buy angling the camera so it lets in more light to avoid getting a very yellow shot.
- In the second shot, we had poor framing as it starts off with half of Harry's head and then as he walks closer, we accidentally cut off the top of his head. To improve, we could have moved the camera back a few steps to keep his whole head in the shot.
-On the match-on-action shot of Gaff's timetable, we went from a straight on close up to a extreme close up to the side. Looking back it looks odd as it went from a POV shot to a very similar shot that wasn't a POV. To improve, we would have made the second shot an extreme close up from straight ahead to still emphasise he is looking at media but keep it from his POV

5.Explain why the preliminary was a useful tasks in preparation for your c/w.
-The preliminary task was very useful as it gave us an idea of how long it would take to film and edit a very short clip to keep it looking continuous while allowing us to practise with the equipment and software we will be using for our final film . It also made us aware of some of the problems we could have had when filming and editing our final film.
