Evaluation 7

Looking back at our preliminary task, our group learnt that making and editing a film is a lot more challenging than it seems. As it involves a lot of time, effort and understanding to make a good end result.
In order to create a good opening sequence, we had to go through a lot of brainstorming, researching and we had to learn how to use various tools, sites programs to enhance and broaden our skills for the clip. We had make sure the edits of the clips were accurate, left impact and flowed well, which was relatively successfully achieved. However in the preliminary task, we noticed that it the shots were good and there were a variety of them, although, the character was in front of the sun so it was harder to see her facial expression and that the run through was jumpy.
Our sound in the opening sequence was hard to get right as the background noise would constantly interfere, so we learnt that you could adjust the volume once you put it one the computer. We hadn't used music in the preliminary task, however, it was a helpful to have had the previous experience, as we could use it to our advantage to explore and understand how to use the sound effects and how to bring the music together.
On both pieces we used transitions, though, in the preliminary task you could tell the transitions were placed cheaply and in the final piece it was successful and appealing. This is also with the titles and the logo ident as they were done on Photoshop and Live type to make it look edgy and give it our own taste, which wasn't done in the preliminary task.
Comparing both pieces, we could tell clearly that the final piece was significantly better than the preliminary task, this is because our knowledge before hand with the use of cameras, tripods, research and programs made it look more professional and realistic. By the various shots used and with the use of the tripod made each shot steady, intense and easier.
Overall, looking back it is evident that our final piece shows a lot more professionalism, and actually looks apart of a movie sequence then our preliminary task.
