What do you feel you have learnt in the progression from the preliminary task to the full product?
These are annotated versions of our preliminary task and final film opening, comparing and explaining the techniques and tools we have used. I have learnt many fascinating things over the past seven months, however the most important thing I have learnt during the creation of our film opening is that working in a group (or a pair as we did) is not only better creatively but also practically. I feel lucky to have had Molly as a partner as we have cooperated well and shared out the work equally - we each knew our strengths and weaknesses and completed jobs based on these. I also feel lucky to have worked with two very patient and hard working actors, who participated in the film opening's success. Lastly I have discovered a new found respect for directors as I never anticipated how much effort goes into creating just a single shot. A year ago when I watched a film I would have never imagined the amount of planning and preparation that goes into film making; now when I watch a film I can appreciate not only the director's hard work but also the hard work of the whole cast and crew - as I have been through a similar process! Overall I think our film opening is successful as it's a simple concept made unique with our creativity, it also appeals to the target audience and uses a variety of different techniques. I have really enjoyed this learning process and hope that our film opening does justice to our hard work.
