Kwame - Q7: Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Looking back at the preliminary task, I have learnt how to be able to position the camera at different types of angles when it came to making movements. We were able to use these types of movements in our full product. Shots like the continuity shot were really helpful when making our film as it helps to view the character at different angles in order for the audience to make judgements about the character. 

We learnt about the 180 degree rule, which taught us about how there are boundaries for the camera angles. For example when shooting a conversation, which we did for our preliminary task.We showed that there is an imaginary line going across the the two characters that featured in our preliminary task and that we shouldn't go past it to help make it look clean when shooting. 

We also learnt about shot reverse shot, which is commonly used when it comes to characters having conversations. Once again our preliminary task shows this as when it came to the speech of a character we shot it at that character. This is shot could also be used for the reaction of a character which is used in other films to signify that something has happened. Films like Usual Suspects use shot reverse shot, for reactions, like in the first 4 seconds of the clip to show something dramatic might happen. This can be applied to many situations, such as this.
