Evaluation- Part 7

7. Looking back to your preliminary task, what have you learnt in the progression from it to full product?

 OUR PRELIMINARY PIECE.

OUR OPENING TWO MINUTES.




Problems that we encountered in our preliminary task:

• We didn't know how to use the editing software that well, so we didn't cut shots to fit properly.
• We wasn't aware of the fact that our sound was on or what was on the sound so we took a gamble with it, and it didn't turn out for the best. All of our sound is just wrong.
• We had some 180 degree line mess ups and our shots didn't line up where they should have done.
• We didn't bother including titles so it was just a random piece of filming as we couldn't work out where the 'add title' button was.

How we got over this:

We watched our preliminary over and talked through it and what went wrong with it, and we put it down to the fact we weren't organized with our headphones to listen to the sound which we will have to change as we can't take a risk on our final product. We also realized how little we knew about the editing software that we had to use, so we watched the tutorials and asked classmates to help us when we were stuck, we then soon figured what we needed to out and worked our way from there. So I gained more knowledge of the editing software.
   We managed to listen to our final piece making sure that we didn't have any unwanted sound left on there. We struggled to find how to mute only certain bits but with a bit of patience we worked it out in the end. All in all I think that I grasped the capability of using sony vegas much easier than I would ever of done before.
