PRELIMINARY - EVALUATION

How effective is the combination of your main product and your film poster?

I think that the combination between my main product and my poster, work well together. As the product does well in portraying a character and their background in depth in a short space of time, and the poster reflects this well. The character is very kept within her self, and doesn't give too much away, just like the poster it doesn't give too much away, which contrasts with the simplicity as, the simplicity makes it much more complex, inevitably making the product and poster compliment each other well. 

What have you learned from your audience feedback?

What I learnt from my audience feedback was that the product was very shocking to people, they found it quite disturbing as I touched on quite a sensitive subject. Although this was quite a negative feedback, I was told is was also very powerful piece of art, that my creative direction was lovely how I contrasted a beautiful build up in such a disturbing subject. I learnt through feedback, that what my style of work was as a director, I was told from primary sources, who vision differently to yourself. I learnt that my work has is emotive and that it can make the audience feel something, whether it be negative or positive. 

What have you learned during the course of this project and what targets for improvement do you need to set for the main task?

During this task, I learnt a few things, technically and mentally. I learnt how to manage a project like this independently, as I filmed and edited by my self. As in previous task we worked within a group, which made it more easier. I found that I like to work by myself, as some times working within a team ideas can collide and arguments occur. So I think I will like to work alone for my main task. I took on a more artistic license which I learnt was my forte, as I used more artistic shots like intricate close ups, and how it was wrote. I also learnt that I have good camera skills, as I showed some good panning shots in my product, which makes me want to start doing more camera work within projects. 

Improvements for the main task would most likely be creating a less disturbing product, as some people didn't react well to my preliminary. Also I would like to use a HD camera for my main task, as the poor quality resolution on my preliminary ruins some of the shots.
