Looking back at our preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Since completing my preliminary task I have learnt so many skills that makes creating, editing and even evaluating my media products possible. As I had not studied Media before I was new to all the equipment but after practice and spending time getting used to the different resources I realised it would be easy.
In my preliminary task, we did not use transitions of effects on any shots, so when we did with the final media product it made such a difference to the final piece. Also learning to add music to Imovie projects using Garageband was a skill that I developed and I effectively added music to our thriller film making it much more interesting and nail-biting to watch, which is always a benefit.
Live Type is another software that I did not know how to use before this year of Media and it is a great program to be able to use as it allows your work to look more professional and appropriate to watch.

If I could go back and adapt the work I did on my preliminary task I would work on the different camera shots and angles to make it more interesting and varied for the audience. I would perhaps add appropriate titles to the task using the software called LiveType which is a great program and looks great on our thriller film, this also gives the task a more professional look.
