What do you feel you have learnt in the progression from creating the preliminary task, to creating your film opening?

I feel that the main thing i learnt was continuity. In my preliminary film, The continuity was wrong for example one minute the man was leaning to his left, then to his right. Although the camera movement was good in this i felt that my preliminary could have been a lot better. For my final coursework piece i felt that i made some severe changes to the way i went about my filming. For example i was very conscious of camera shots, for example making sure part of the persons head wasn't cut out.
Also i tried to focus on the continuity more, for example making sure the glass was in his right hand throughout and the timing when cutting to a different shot while he was walking was alright.

I feel that i have competently increased my skills in my film work. I have a greater understanding of the hardware and software and i have a sharpened eye for spotting continuity and i am some what of a perfectionist now.
