7) Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Preliminary task




26

The main areas which we recalled our experiences from the preliminary task were:


Social Media:

A big improvement we made since our prelim was the Facebook group, exclusively for our media project.



It came in very handy when we couldn't all meet in person or we needed to go over something quickly. We would upload work so that all group members could have a look and be up to date on what had been done. We could also allocate tasks accordingly this way.


From our experience in the prelim, I think our time keeping was more efficient, but we still had to re-shoot multiple times. Even though we had re-shoot lists and schedules, on the actual shoots , we remembered other shots we might need, so the schedules didn't really work so well. With our shoots better organised, we would've had more time to edit and perhaps the lighting would not have been such a big issue with our sequence.

As for editing, we all worked on the sequence during our free time, when the others weren't available and reviewed any changes made with the others, to make decisions together. We were successful in the prelim, so we kept a similar style of splitting it into 20 minute slots.

The evaluations, though individual, did require some group decisions to be made, such as a final storyline and the supporting male character. We has group meeting to finalise everything before we worked on our evaluations, which I think worked well as we could plan and help each other before beginning work. Looking back though, I would probably ask their feedback more as well as other non- media friends and family to get their opinions on certain aspects. As well as this, I would allow myself  more time to portfolio and evaluation, to avoid stress!
