Evaluation Task 7

In my preliminary task there were a few faults and things that we could have done to improve it. when we started our preliminary task our media knowledge wasnt as good as it is today, my media skills have improved impeccably, one of the key faults that is in our preliminary task is the camera work in that we used the basic shots mid shots, close ups, and one 180 degree rule. these are all basic camera shots, now we have learnt hight angle shots, shot reverse shot and low angle shots, we didnt just learn how to perform them correctly we also learnt what these shots can do to influence the audience thinking for instance a high angle shot of our victim could make the audience feel that he is vulnerable and that something could be happening to him in the next shot.    At the time that me and Will did the preliminary task we weren't all that familiar with the editing software that we had to use "Adobe Premier Elements" so when watching the video the continuity isn't perfect, where we had filmed some scenes more than once to hope to get the best results we had tried to edit them together to create the best shots possible and in doing so the shots didn't cut at the correct time so it repeated some of the words. It wasn't just the editing software that prevented us to make a film that was as well edited and filmed like "Mine Forever" is now and that is because we hadn't done as much work with the camera. But this task gave us the preparation that we needed to be able to feel confutable with filming for our films and I think the camera work in 'Mine Forever' is relatively good.
