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

At the beginning of the year we were ask to film a preliminary task, on basic normal camera using adobe premier which is a basic editing program. we had to use skills such as 180 degree rule and shot revers shot, and as you can see this in our final clip. we then only had the choice of simple editing applications this however was alot different when we had to film our horror film. when filming our horror film we was very fortunate to be able to use a HD camera and then afterwards we were aloud to edit on the brand new Apple Mac-Books this was a new level in technology for me because i had never used this before and as you can tell from our prelim task to our finale horror film that alot has change. At first we only knew basic skills on a program called finale cut, but as time past we gradually began to understand how the system worked therefore allowing us to make our basic ideas into a specticle for the eyes of the veiwers. The Macs gave us alot more options for transitions which once again made our film alot better compared to adobe premier which has very minimal transition options which i didnt feel was very good. The HD cameras alowed us to get a much clearer image when filming and made our final edition look far superior to others who had previously used the normal basic cameras. The prelim task was far easier but seeing the finale edition of our horror film made all the hard work worth the wait. -  This is two pictures from my horror film which were filmed on the hd cameras and wich were eddited on the Macs. 

Here is a picture from my preliminary task with my editing and my basic footage from the normal camera.
