Evaluation question seven

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

I have learnt that in depth planning of the shots and the shot sheet help continuity. from the continuity exercise we did, to our life on mars remake, to finally my film opening I have learnt the importance of shot planning and re shooting things. its always better to have more footage to work with rather than less. 



when planning i became particularly aware of how to create meaning in a scene, not only from whats said and done but also the micro elements. so when planning i really had to visualize how i was going to edit it together and the digital storyboard helped with that. I also had to consider the mise en scene when shooting and i slowly became more aware of whats in the scene and how vital that is to the mood of the entire sequence. 

As a media student i feel i have learnt key skills that will benefit future projects and work. I have further developed my understanding of the importance of micro elements and their meaning.
