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

The preliminary task enable us to become accustomed with the equipment giving us experience and preparation for our film.

I feel that since the preliminary task, i have learnt a lot including how to upload music to our film which we decided in the end we didn't want to use and i also learned how to add titles and credits, and how to add different effects. i also learnt how to cut and put shots together.  Since filming the preliminary i feel that our camerawork and our knowledge of the shots and angles improved massively  but doing the preliminary task help me to get used to the equipment. We also learnt how to put the titles into our film which we weren't able to do in our exercise. I feel a lot more confident with premier pro  and using the camera equipment.

I learnt how to do a range of things for example I have learnt how to do a variety of camera angles and shots like pan, extreme close up, long shot, mid shot, close up incorporating this into making my final product. We used Adobe Premiere Elements in order to edit our preliminary task to ensure that everything  looked professional.  Looking back at the preliminary task, we did use a variety of camera shots but they didn't fit nicely together and looked unprofessional as we filmed different shots on different days and weather changes and people had different clothes on. but learning from this we filmed percific scenes on the same days. i used a larger range of camera shot and angles  to emphasise the characters feelings on the particular situations that they were put in. For example, when the femme fatal is waiting for someone down the alley she looks impatient and her body language also shows this show we used and mis shot and a close up to show this it also allowed the audience to identify her as the femme fatal due to her costume and makeup and the atmosphere she creates in the scene. 

We took into consideration Mise-En-Scene when we made the film product for example in the preliminary task, we only filmed it on college premises whereas when we made our film noir, we filmed some in the college and some down an alley which created the film noir moody and made it more mysterious. This would also make the viewer keen to keep on watching because it is a change of scenery. 
In our preliminary cast we worse just casual smart wear whereas we really considered mis en scene as this made is more professional.
