Evaluation Question 7

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in progression of it to the full product?
Since the preliminary task I've learnt a lot of useful things, right up until the end of my media product.
I learnt the importance of sound in an opening sequence, getting the right sound or music can really make a media product, no matter what it is. When the sound doesn't fit it changes the mood and general tone and can challenge the conventions of a product. It can stop the audience from realising the genre or message you're trying to get across.From learning this about sound,  it helped me with my final film as learnt that only using non diegetic sound worked better. I was unable to experiment with diegetic sound when working on the preliminary task.
Since the preliminary task I've discovered how important credits are to a title sequence, after analysing other media products, I learnt where credits should be placed,  in what order they should be placed and how the colour,size and design of them can add to a media product, and help to stress its genre.
The media products themselves are very different. During the filming of the preliminary task I found it difficult as I had hardly any experience. I wasn't good with planning or accomplishing the idea, but because of all the editing, planning, research and filming experience I've gained since, i was able to make the opening title sequence a lot better and it turned out to be more success than the preliminary task. Meaning I've progressed well over all.
