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

I feel that the preliminary tasks were a great source of preparation for the main production task. It taught me that I should always get more footage then I plan to use as you never know if you may need more shots and its better to have them to have to go back and film more. Also, during the preliminary task I learnt how to film using different camera angles and after was able to practice editing my footage on a Mac. All of this I feel slowly taught me the basics for what I would need to know for the main task, and without the preliminary task to start, it would have taken a lot longer, and created a lot more hassle for my second task.

Preliminary Task -



Fixation -


After watching my preliminary task compared to ‘fixation’ I can definitely notice an improvement in my editing and filming. Fixation seems to flow a lot more successfully and looks a lot more professional, with help of the additional sound and contrast editing.
Altogether I’m very pleased with ’Fixation’ and since the preliminary believe that I have learnt a lot of skills involved with the production process.
