Evaluation Activity 7

looking back at the preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?
i have evaluated the camera work and editing.

on our preliminary task we used the 180 rule and match on action, we also used some shot reverse shots. this was a really good way to practice for our opening 2 min.

what we noticed from our preliminary task is how important it is to use the 180 rule so hat the audience does not get confused as to whats happening in the clip.

we therefore made sure we used this in our opening 2 min.

we used shot reverse shots in our prelinary task while the characters where in conversation. as there was no conversation in our opening 2 min we could not do this although we did shot reverse shot as it went from the murderer to the victum, this therefore enhanced the fact there was a link between these characters.

we liked the speed and continuity of our match on action in our preliminary task and therefore made sure that we used this in our opening 2 min, we learnt from our prelimanry task our strengths and weaknesses and used this to our advantage when filming our opening 2 min.

Evaluation Task 6

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
for this we have taken pictures of us using the equipment. it was very important that we knew how to use all the equipment in order for our opening 2 min to run smoothly and be of a higher quality. knowing how to use all the equipment correctly also helps save time and this would be extremely important for a high budget film where timings have to be spot o.

this is me holding the camera and tripod. we learnt how to adjust the tripods so that we were able to get it at the right height and angle when filming. this is important as we needed to get the right shots and the tripod had to be at the right level so it was steady.

 this is charlotte holding the camera and tripod. we also learnt how to use the camera properly, this was important as we needed to keep our footage safe on the camera and make filming more efficient.

 we used youtube to upload all of our videos. we learnt how to upload all the videos on their website. this was a vital part of being able to show our final product.

 we were planning on making our own music but we came across freeplay music which is full of no copyright music, there was music on there that was perfect for our film and this therefore helped make our film the best it could be.

we had previous experience with windows movie maker and therefore used this to edit our film.
