Doing a preliminary task has benefited us in a number of ways. We now have experience using the equipment and now have a better understanding of how to use the Macs for editing. It as helped show us the stages of producing a short film or opening, and that it is a long process that is time consuming and requires a lot of organisation, resulting in us considering our option early on and being productive with our time so we can create a successful film opening. Another thing it has shown us is that good communication is required. With out this, we will not be successful in our planning process and will also not hear everyone's ideas which we could potentially combine. It is also important to divide the work between us equally so that we all have an opportunity to get a good grade and to ensure that all of the work does not fall on one person. For us to have the motivation to do all the work required, we are going to need to like the idea that we have for our film. As a group we like the story behind our preliminary task, and saw the potential for it to be good. This resulted in us looking forward to the lessons and we were willing to do work towards it in our own time. This has shown us that we will need to have the same attitude towards our opening as more work will be required. The preliminary task has also helped show us how vital the planning stage is. The story board proved useful as it helped give us as vision of what our film would run liked and showed us what we needed to film where and when. The props list allowed us to ensure that we had everything in time for filming, so we did not have to 'make do and mend'. Before this preliminary task, we did not think that editing would be so time consuming. However, this has showed us that during the editing process we will want to change elements of our film and will be very precise with every detail. This has showed us that we will need to leave plenty of time for the editing process.
