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

First Project: Preliminary Task

As you can notice that there is too much headroom in my first piece of group work.

  

Second Project: 9th Grade

When filming, I made sure that there was enough headroom, not too much and not cutting the top of the main characters head. 

In our previous group preliminary task, we realised that there was plenty of headroom when we were meant to do a ¾ shot of both of the characters exchanging their dialogue. So this time we ensured that there was a correct amount of headroom when the characters get ready to leave the classroom.

Also in our first project we found that the whole footage was filmed on a tripod, so this time to give a different effect we thought it would look good to do some 'hand held' filming, and this also makes the audience feel that they are involved with the film and know whats happening.

I thought that the second project that we had done was a successful result and although there weren't any dialogue in the shot, the expressions made by the characters e.g. when the popular kids gave a look of disgust to the nerdy kid when she had toilet tissue roll stuck to her feet, and the music playing in the background did actually make the footage look more professional and American comedy genre films tend to have music playing in the background.
