6. 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?

From our filming sessions we have learn a lot of different techniques, which make a film interesting and unique. There are loads of different techniques that we used within our film, for example:

Fade in / out shot

Tracking

Shot reverse shot

360 degree rule

And many more.

We have learnt how to go from basic straight filming to making a film to a professional level, the preliminary tasks helped a lot with this as it acted as a guide line for our filming; we used it as a list we simply followed the list every time we needed a new filming technique. Filming techniques have to be used when making a film; they add tension, drama and intensity. 

Without filming techniques films become boring and useless for the audience, films are made for one purpose to entertain, and with a film that lacks drama there is no point in spending money producing a film that sends its audience to sleep.
