Evaluation question 7-"looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?"

Before A level I had never studied media, but now i'm glad that i have because its showed me that media is more than just filming, I've learnt about the effort and hard work that has to go into planning like making the script, storyboards and scripts. Before media I never heard of blogger and what it can provide, Starting the blog was an enjoyable task as we got the play around with the customisation options which is very easy to get used to. I enjoyed learning about how to create storyboards as I like drawing this was a fun task for me, It was good that the whole group contributed to the storyboard by generating ideas for different shots. The research was a very interesting section for me as i enjoyed finding out how big Hollywood blockbuster movies where made, I liked finding out how much it cost them and the equipment they used, so we could try to copy the shots they had but with less developed technology. I didn't really learn a lot about editing as one of my group was familiar with the Premiere pro software and it was quicker if he edited the majority of the film, I did get the chance to edit but it was very basic like cutting and adding a clip which I was okay with but after watching my group mate edit I felt like I learnt a lot from watching him. I have learnt how to create prezi's and how to embed and upload them to blogger, prezi's where a great way to present my answers to the evaluation question as they could zoom in to different sections and it made the answers less boring. I have also learnt how to embed you tube videos onto blogger, I didn't know how to do this until a fellow class mate showed me, it was a very beneficial skill to learn as it allowed me to embed videos so i could talk about them and how I got my inspiration from them. Overall I am happy with the amount of new skill i have learnt and hopefully they will benefit me in the future, but if there was one thing i could change is the amount of experience I had to edit as I had very little and think if I had more time then it would benefit a lot more for future independent videos I want to make.
