Looking back at your preliminary task what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?
i feel that the preliminary task has helped a huge amount in gcoming towards our finsihed product as i feel it gave us the basical skills needed in order to create unto of that to finish our final piece. i feel that the progression i have made is a big jump as at the strat of the year i had never really had that much experience in creating any type of film. i now feel confident to edit and create a movie with only a little help for my peers. the thing that i found most help was watching tutorials on youtube that showed us how to use the products.
when we came down to start editing our film we found that the camera we had used was not compatable with 'final cut express' as a result we used our knowledge of what we knew already from previously using it and put our film onto iMovie and then started to create our film and the eventually put it to final cut express to then make any final adjustments that were needed.
