Analysis of Preliminary Task
For our prelim, we had to overcome various challenges. To start with, we had no SD card in our camera and had to try and get our footage off of the camera, which eventually we did. Once we did this we realised we had not followed the 180 degree so had to re shoot our footage, however we had learnt from our experience before and made sure we had enough footage and a variety of camera angles which is how we managed to do a shot of my feet whilst walking which we thought was an effective low camera angle to create variety in our prelim. We realised after looking at our footage the beginning has the light behind me which was not very effective and so lighting is something we would need to focus on more and look at during our final project. We also saw there was not continuity between some of our shots so that would be something we would have to focus on.
