Evaluation Seven
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learned in the progression from it to your full product?
For this part of the evaluation, I have decided to do a directors commentary. This entailed me pausing my preliminary task and discussing each part, focusing on how my skills have progressed and improved since, in comparison to my final piece:

Upon reflection, I think it is clear how not only my understanding of media has developed, but I have also greatly improved upon my technical skills too. I think my greatest improvement has been in how I have framed my shots, as I have become more conscious on getting every single frame to look good. This was also helped by producing a storyboard for both my preliminary and my film opening.
Other skills I have gained from the production process is how to use a Steadicam, how to edit the volume on a section of the soundtrack, how to use time lapse (both slow and fast motion) and how to do a cutaway on iMovie. I have also learned other things that will help me become successful in film making, such as getting as much footage as possible using different angles and camera movements. This makes it easier when editing as you can then have the ability to select the very best clips.
My biggest issue of not having the correct lighting was successfully solved through doing a reshoot and editing the footage through changing the brightness and adding a filter. However, upon my personal reflection and my audience feedback, I feel like I could have made further improvements by making the credits more visible. This could be achieved by changing the font, making it slightly bigger and maybe changing the colour.
