Looking back at your preliminry task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product? To remind you again here is our Prelim Task and our Full Product... Preliminary Task -  Full Product -   PRE-PRODUCTION STAGE: •There are a few similarities between  our preliminary task and final product , in terms of the planning process, and differences, such as equipment used and depth of research.  • For our preliminary, we were only allowed 30 minutes of time for pre-production; which included planning the narrative and dialogue.

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real products? In the image above is my 9 frame of my Preliminary Task. 1 - In the first frame we see our distribution company accompanied by a lion and its roar. Our group was inspired by the Metro Goldwyn Mayer distribution logo. 2 - In the second frame we are presented with our production logo, 'Spartan Production' we used a very original icon to stand out from other production logos. Our aim was to keep it simple. 3 - In the third frame we see a long shot of the protagonist walking along a long road towards the camera. We did this to introduce our main character of the preliminary task. With our third frame the credits can be seen aswell. This idea was inspired by the Walking Dead. 4 - The fourth frame is a low angle panning shot of the protagonist. This was effective as it introduces the setting of our short film. 5 - In the fifth frame is a mid shot of ...
