7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in progression from it to the full product?

I have learnt to use more realistic detailing to my film which is similar to real media products. For example; the Productions logo I created for the opening sequence of Tangled Strings hadn’t occurred for me to use in The Robbery.


Tangles Strings has allowed for me to do more research into real media products around the world and has helped me see why some film openings created more of an impact on people than other people.

Also, by asking student (during the production) what worked better or worse in Tangled Strings, I have noticed that most people were happier watching the swan at the start of the film than the later on memories, such as the hospital appointment. This made me think during the production of the film how to make the earlier memories be perceived sweeter and gentler than the “adult” memories, so that I could create that contrast which would be the cause for the impact on the audience – this was not possible in the preliminary task as the contrast, in that case, between both characters was down to the their acting skills, and I could not do anything about it.
