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

My preliminary tasks involved me and my group-creating thriller using a deck of cards and it was with this short clip that we started developing the method seen in memento, which was going in reverse. S0 we decided to apply this technique, because not only will it get the attention from the audience but also it blends well with our protagonist and also in that task we decided to play with the lighting this was one technique we considered however we stayed with natural light because it would emphasize that Alice our protagonist was a normal young lady. This task we also done over the shoulder shots and lots of close ups of facial expressions and the clip below demonstrates all the techniques used in our first preliminary task.

This was followed by a match cut task which we decided it would involve a very simple task which was a young male walking up a stair case and going to a young women to have a very simple conversation yet we used several match cuts, a good example was a close up of the young males shoes going up the stairs and also when he opened the door we also notice a close up of his hand then we notice a full shot of him so therefore many match cuts have occurred especially when the conversation goes on between the two characters back and forth conversation between the two..

So overall if you view a certain part of our finished section you will realise the importance both these task were to me and my group this is because, the match cuts we produced were very efficient and also the timing we achieved was also very effective and therefore that was a skill we learnt from the match cut task yet it was more efficient in the final movie rather than the preliminary task, moreover the mise en scene came from our first task because we decided to go for a very trashy look therefore we decided this look in our final cut to enforce the idea behind our protagonist and therefore this skill was learnt from our preliminary task not only mise-en scene but also the lighting was a technique we learnt in this task which was either natural or using equipment and if you realise in our final film we went for natural lighting as this would go better with our whole film, therefore these tasks have not only taught as new skills but also o perfect previous skills learnt.
