Question 7

Here is the link to my preliminary task: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I59o5rHbW3U

Here was the title for our first shot of the prelim.
As you can see the title is not in line and also the font isn't appropriate for our genre.

In this shot as well you can see that the camera shot is blurry, this shows poor camera skills and also that we rushed the filming stage.










The hardest part of this task was overcoming the editing stage, this was new programme which we hadn't used before. We had to learn to put different effects in and also cut out any parts of the film which looked poor such as bad filming or shots of black. I thought our effort overall was average as we had many parts which didn't work.
The music in my video was too loud and blocked out the talking of the actors in the first part. Fading into different shots as well was repetitive and nothing different was used. The ending was poor as when i took the shot i didn't cut the shot so Sophie continued to walk which looked unrealistic.

As you can see in this screenshot we have added production companies for our opening where in the prelim task we just went straight into the first shot.

In this shot you can see the titles are a lot more realistic and organised as the order in which we show our group's roles which is similar to other documentaries out there. In our prelim task i only showed one title and didn't include roles such as: music, editing, filing etc as you can see from this next screenshot.

Here in my prelim task i provided no information to the audience in who edited,filmed and who provided the music.


Overall in both tasks i have learnt on the editing side - how to trim footage to make it fit perfectly, how to dim lighting and music and specific points in the movie and use of different effects such as making titles follow certain areas on the screen.

I also now have a wider knowledge of different programmes i can use to evaluate tasks to add effect other than just a powerpoint. Prezi and slideshare have been useful sites to make my evaluation stage look more effective for an audience.
