I feel I have learned a lot and progressed significantly since the production of my preliminary task. When I watched my preliminary task back after I had produced 'Exposed' I saw a huge different. In my preliminary task it looked a lot less professional, the editing was very poor and the fluidity of it wasn't very good. The story line was quite ambiguous also and there wasn't really much dialogue or room to develop. I also noticed that some of the camera angles were quite sloppy and because of the poor editing they looked very prolonged. I noticed this on the match on action shots; In my preliminary task it took to long between the two shots and lacked fluidity however in 'Exposed' it flowed fantastically and looked very neat. One thing that I also learned from the preliminary task is that limiting a film sequence to one location doesn't allow the escapism the viewers want to be able to think outside of the box, guess the story line etc...It makes the clip very dull, predictable and boring. We took this into consideration with 'Exposed' and filmed in two different locations. No music or exciting editing was used in my preliminary task, I soon learnt when producing 'Exposed' that music and editing are key and essential elements to a film as they create a certain feel and atmosphere. Also with my preliminary task I didn't do any research therefore had no target audience and nothing to aim or strive towards as far as targeting it and moulding it for a certain group of people. In 'Exposed' I did a lot of research on the conventions of teen drama and was therefore able to make it appealing.
