Looking back on my preliminary task I have learned a lot, primarily I would like to highlight how this was my first use of a camera for filming so it was a very new experience. This being the case I have noticed a lot of areas for improvement which I would hope to build on. The preliminary task is good however the main error in it is the sound. There needs to be sound bridges to make the match on action where the door is opening much more smooth. Moreover, the sound gets quite fuzzy and it changes volume between cuts because the camera is moving place. In the future I would like to address this issue by having an audio recorder that is separate to the camera. Another issue is lighting, when Josh enters the room there is a change in lighting without anyone actually changing the light, it looks quite strange and in the future correcting this will not be hard it's just something that you must try to be aware of. The positioning of characters, between cuts their position changes dramatically for example if they have their arms crossed they might suddenly have their elbows on the table and their hands on their chin, it is crucial to correct this because it looks unprofessional and feels wrong. As with the lighting this is something that you can only be more careful about in the future and I will be sure to take care when shooting scenes with any movement. On the same note the movement of props must be carefully monitored because when Josh sits down the chair magically moves closer to the table between a cut, again this is visually not appealing and looks unprofessional, the only way to help correct this in the future is with more caution.
