Analysis of Preliminary task

Whilst editing my Preliminary Task I learnt that using i-movie which was too basic and when uploading it onto Youtube as quality wasn't very the best. To overcome this problem I downloaded Final Cut Pro for my opening sequence which is more professional and helpful and when uploading onto Youtube will give hd quality Another problem with i-movie was I couldn't advance technically and it didn't look as professional as others who used Final Cut Pro. I also learnt that I needed to have a more detailed story board so I knew exactly what shots to use for every frame.




Another thing I learnt from my Preliminary task were the skills that I picked up while filming and editing it. For example I learnt that when my character is walking I shouldn't let them walk off the frame as this makes the film disjointed I also learnt to get lots of different angles then when editing them together so that I have a huge variety of shots to make my preliminary task as good as possible. This keeps the pace moving and can include more interesting shots. I also learnt, while filming, that I always had to make sure that my actor, when filming the same scene again and again, should always walk or be on the same side and use the same movements so when I come to editing it doesn't confuse the viewer.They also had to speak and say exactly the same words so that the preliminary task can match. 




For my real Opening Sequence I should spend longer looking for better music that compliment what is happening better. I think this would add to the effectiveness of my video and trigger the correct emotion in the viewer. I would also use Final Cut Pro. This would give me more options when editing and looks more professional when I finish my task. Also on my Opening Sequence I will spend more time going through my music choices so it really fits with the piece and adds to it instead of taking away from it.




Social networking is a very useful way to get feedback on my preliminary task as people comment truthfully and you can learn what went well, what they liked or didm/t like and what they would recommend what you could change. All the comments could be used to make my opening sequence as good as it can be and not make the same mistakes that the viewers didn't like or do some of the same things that they did like.
