Eval- Question 7

What do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

Throughout the process of my opening thriller sequence i feel that I've gained key skills for filming as well as editing and have I have learnt the importance of things such as props, costumes and locations. After experimenting with the camera's I've come to realise that to create a specific mood or atmosphere you can adjust lighting, angle and composition to achieve this. Although I didn't gain group skills, I did manage to gather new actors and people that were willing to help me film my opening sequence. 

We had to learn from scratch how to use the software needed as none of us from the group had any experience with it before. We now know we must leave a lot of time when editing the film as it takes a lot of time to complete. We have realised how important sound is for a film as it completely sets the mood and genre.
