Preliminary task and Evaluation

Evaluation 

Did you achieve continuity editing and demonstrate a match on action, a shot reverse shot, and the 180 degree rule?support your answers with examples from your video of what has worked well and what could be improved?

We mostly archived continuity editing, we showed match on action, a shot reverse shot and followed the 180 degree rule. The first shots where he opens the door and walks through smoothly transitions from shot to shot and is continuous. It is all shot abiding by the 180 degree rule. The cut of the to characters sitting down was shot poorly and the we were forced to cut the clip at the wrong point.

Discuss any mistakes you made - did you have to re-film anything? if so why.

We had to re-film the first clip of the character walking to ward the door. The first time we filmed it we accidentally cut the top of the charters head out of the frame.

Explain what you learnt about:

1.Camera work

I learnt to create the shots abiding by the 180 degree rule and to frame the scene in thirds.

2.Using camera and tripod

I learnt to steady the camera with a tripod and how to keep shake to a minimum.

3.Imovie HD set up, editing and sharing

Editing video with Imovie HD was a new experience and i have learnt how to cut and separate clips, I learnt to edit the sound separate to the clip and how to share the clip online fully edited.

 4.Uploading to YouTube

I had previously never uploaded to YouTube before but the process was basic and easy to grasp.

Why is https://www.google.co.uk/it important to follow the setup procedures for storing and saving your work?

So the raw version stays intact and separate to the edited, to ensure there is no loss of data if something is wrongfully deleted or lost due to an unforeseeable incident like a power cut.

In what ways do you feel this task has helped prepare you for the main task (opening two minutes of a feature film

It has taught me some of the skills i will be needing to use and let me try them out before hand so i know were i need to improve. I was not aware beforehand of certain barriers that will need to be surpassed and this has let me know what to expect and what to prepare for.

What have you learnt about working in groups, and time management?

In a group having assigned roles and duties help time management, it means no one is ever just waiting to do something, you all have a task to do. This maximises the amount that gets done with multiple tasks being completed rather than all people working on one task together.
