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

My aims after completing my preliminary task were to, gain more confidence and independence using the different editing programs (On Location and Adobe Premiere Pro).
To be more consistant in my filming  and editing, making sure that all the camera movements flowed together nicely.
To become more organised with posting on my blog and getting my work in at the alotted times.

I feel that I have sucessfully achieved my aim to become more confident and independent when using programs such as Adobe Premiere Pro and On Location.For example, when using On Location I have learnt that at the beginning and end of filming I should film some footage of no relevance  or use so that if the file corrupts it wont effect any of the footage I need. I have also learnt how to link and unlink the audio file and add audio fades, although it did take a while due to my visual imparement. This also meant that I didn't learn how to do the more complicated things because I found it extremely hard to see the icons. However, it did not hold me back ads my partner was very understanding and able to help me with the more complicated areas.

I feel that my consistancy when filming and editing has improved greatly since the preliminary task. Things ran much more smoothly and clearly with less jumps and you could clearly see the differnt type shots (match in action).

I feel that I partially achieved my aim to become more organised as I did manage to organise and remeber meetings with the cast and to look at locations ect brinign all the right materials and resorces needed. However, my organisation where the blog work was concerned, wasn't so good. Although a lot of this was due to technical, issues I could have also done more to ensure that it was in on time. For example setting more of my free time aside to travel to college to finish the work.
