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

Back in October we started filming our Preliminary Task, which required us to use basic shot types and editing. Since then we have learned various conventions and shot types mentioned in my previous blogs.
In class we were asked "Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?"
In our preliminary task the camera uses simple techniques such as tracking, the shot reverse shot and static shots. We used basic edits such as jump cuts and progressive cuts, there was no music and the video clip itself was very brief. We also learned how to fully use Adobe Premier, covering cuts, to titles and other various editing techniques.

Since then we have filmed one film and then finally our horror movie, and I believed I have learned quite a bit about camera motions, the correct types of shots for each feeling and scene, and to film with editing in mind:

In this shot we filmed the sky for roughly around 7 seconds in order to edit a title in later.

We also learned quite a bit about editing the film, which involves creating titles and incorporating them into the film appropriately using

transitions  and motion control.Music was another thing we have learned in regards to our editing, as we were able to place music and cut it down to fit the video, whereas the thought didn't even occur to us to use music, even though the soundtrack adds to the atmosphere.Finally we learned how to add titles adequately. In our preliminary task we only used one title, which was my name, exam number and the title "Preliminary task".

Naturally we have advanced since then, and now we know how to add film titles in various fonts, distort the fonts, make the titles move and fade in and out.
