Looking back at my preliminary task I feel that I have picked up many skills in order to create a good film. I've learned about the camera and how to use it properly, as well as where to position it in order to not confuse the audience (180 degree line). As well as this I have learnt how to make a film look professional, for example paying attention to the head space so there is not too much, using the spirit level to make sure that the shot is straight, and keeping space in front of the character as they're walking so it looks like they're walking into something. I've also learnt a variety of different shots, e.g worms eye, pan, and how to do the perfect over the shoulder shot. I've learned how to position the camera to use the zoom to perfect a shot. I have the basic skills to make the right shots to use in an opening sequence.
As well as learning to use the camera I've learnt how to work successfully in a team in order to produce a good piece of work, I've learned how to direct and position props, and how to use the correct software in order to piece together a film and add effects and titles, as well as music and make cuts (editing).
Personally I am proud of what I have learnt and the skills I have gained, I'm happy with my progression and proud of my end product, however if I had the opportunity to go back I would have done things differently, e.g. I'd have used a better setting in order to make it look more realistic, better props and costume, and a more detailed story board to earn more time when it came to editing and getting the most out of our shots.
