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

Looking back at my preliminary task I understood what needed to be done to construct a media product, in my case a thriller film opening sequence called 'Palpatine'.  The prelim task demanded that I understood the basics of shot types. Using these techniques in an in-camera exercise task using a Sony NX5, my group and I then edited together the shots taken which helped me understand the need for continuity. By using the Adobe Premiere Pro software, this provided me with the essential knowledge, practice and understanding of how my thriller opening sequence should be constructed. From the early days of pre-production I produced a storyboard which reflected this. Overall what I learnt from this process is how to successfully make a film opening sequence.
