Thuvaaragan Kuruparan Evaluation Activity 7 Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you thing that you have learned in the progression from it to the main product? Throughout the construction of the preliminary task, my group and I did not do any planning. The story as well as the shots used were mostly improvised throughout the whole process. We used the camera that we used in the preliminary task, the Canon 700D, to film the main production because we were familiar with how to use it. In the preliminary task, the only sound that we used was diegetic dialogue as the production was extremely short, although we could have used other sound to make it better. There were some similarities between our preliminary task and the final product. For example, in cinematography, we used two shots and also over the shoulder shots in both productions. Preliminary Final Product In editing, we used match on action and shot-reverse-shot to show the power difference between the protagonist and the antagonist. Some difficulties that we faced while filming the preliminary task were that the camerawork was not of a good standard. An example of this is that we broke the 180 degree rule multiple times. We also faced problems with the sound as while filming, we were being disrupted by the noise from the outside. Because of this we were forced to film more than twice and spent more time than needed on the task. Also, another reason for us having to film again was the poor acting by our cast that we had originally selected. We had to go with these actors because of the limitation of actors available to us.
