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

When I look back at our preliminary task, I feel my group and I have come along way. We have used various types of camera angles, different types of mise-en-scene and we used a soundtrack that we would not normally use.
I think everyone in our group had a speciality in the process of the film. I, for example, edited and mixed the soundtrack with the footage. Salim was the camera man and director of photography. Ainsley and I were the 2 main characters. Kiyan was our funding and director.
During our planning and preparation, we all did different items to help us start our filming quicker. I did the storyboards, Salim did the screenplay, Kiyan did the product and audience research and Ainsley the location scouting.
During the course of our filming, I learnt a lot of new things, i learned that mise-en-scene plays a huge part in setting the scene. For example, the graveyard scene would of looked much better and more formal if I was in the black suite. I also believe that I have gotten a better understanding and  know how to operate IMovie09 on a Apple Mac book.

If you compare our preliminary, in which we learned about the 180-degree rule, to our final opening sequence you will notice a huge difference in the camera angles used, the soundtrack and acting.
