Evaluation

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

Looking back on my preliminary task I have learnt so much, i've learnt how to be independant in my production, how to organise the people I was working with, how to structure when and where I was filming. I was really enthusiastic about the task at first and rearing to go, keeping up that enthusiasm and determination to finish is hard work especially when all the exciting bits are done. The last stretch was especially difficult, but now that it's all done i'm really proud of what i've achieved and how far i've come from when I started. I haven't just learnt a lot about making my own production and putting together my own footage etc. but also about the media industry itself, because our work has to be targeted at a certain audience we can't just go off the rails and make any old thing, we have to rein ourselves in and through that I developed a lot of creative discipline. I know so much more about filming, angles, sound, lighting and the effect I want on the audience than I did when I set out to do my preliminary task I really had no idea then. It's really been a progression from little kid in a sweet shop to a mature student who understands the task ahead of them. I'm really proud of my achievement throughout this year.
