Based on your first draft - learning from my preliminary task

What did you learn during your preliminary task that you  want to avoid/implement/develop upon in your actual coursework?

Firstly, from my preliminary task I want to avoid being unorganised because it became rather stressful on the day I came to film because we hadn't created a storyboard or thought of exactly what we were going to film such as the different shots and angles. This lead to disagreement when we got to our locations because all of us filming had different ideas on how we wanted to film. So this time before me and Kate film we have discussed our ideas and made a compromise and we have agreed on exactly what we want to do by creating a script that includes all character direction/setting changes/dialogue etc, this should stop any arguments and disagreements.  Also, I need to develop my skills on using editing software such as adobe premier because I don't know how to edit my film footage into the film as I have had no experience before in editing as Will did all the editing in the preliminary task. I also want to avoid my film from looking unrealistic because in my preliminary task the actors kept laughing and not acting very well. To avoid this for my final film I will have to pick my actors wisely and tell them about the seriousness of the film and if they aren't willing to act seriously then I will have to find someone else. Also, my preliminary task recording was really shaky which made the video look really unprofessional. To avoid this I will use take my time by giving myself loads of time to film and use a tripod. Lastly, I want to develop on using camera shots and angles in my final film. I can do this by looking at my preliminary task and see what ones worked well and what ones didn't work so well.
