Preparing for our Preliminary task and Foundation Portfolios

To prepare for our tasks ahead, we watch a few clips of pupils work from previous years to help us understand what works well and also what doesn't. We found that the well made clips used a variety of different shots and edits that blended together to create a smooth finish. It was clear that they planned their work well as some scenes were successful at building up the story they aimed to put across. We also found that found that the ones that needed more work didn’t use a wide enough variety of shots and edits weren't smooth like the previous ones.

We also became aware that close up shots were extremely important. What we gained from this is that we need to plan our work out properly and make sure our clips blend together to get the right message across to the audience.
