Evaluation. video.

1. Who did you work with and how did you manage the task between you? In the filmed element of the task I worked with Olivia Kimberly, Vicky Packwood, Emily Jones and Hannah Scoular. I believe we worked very well together and made a great minute video. We all contributed to get the end result which in my opinion was great. :)
2. How did you plan your magazine cover? What element did you use for your inspiration? For the short film we first made a story board with the shots we were going to use in sequence. We also discussed what angles would complement the shots, how long to hold the shots and what each shot could add to the short film. For inspiration we looked at past attempts at this task and evealuated them to see where they could inprove and hopefully pick out points that we could improve on our own video and how to make it sucessful.
3. What technology did you use to complete the task, and how did you use it? We used a camera to film and imovie to edit the scenes. Both of these where easy to get hold of as our school offers the technologies out. we had to upload the footage we had taken onto the apple computures then edited on imovie, this enabled us to cut the footage to make each scene as if we had not edited itand shot it clip by clip.
4. What factors did you have to take into account when planning, shooting and editing? When figuring out the filmed piece we had to ensure that we didn’t include too many shots and those we stuck to the 180 degree rule. We also had to get all the shots in one lesson there for we had to have good time keeping luckily we did all this in the time limit asked. we had to take into account the time it would take to set up each shout and how many times we might need to try these shots e.g the shot where jack and olivia are talking we shot that about 4 times, we could only do this because we gave time frames for each shot.
5. How successful was your short film? Identify what worked well, and with hindsight, what would you improve/do differently? The final cut was good and the acting was well thought out. I think if doing the film again I may have edited it a little more; this would have created a much more refined look. I would have also gave more time toword making each shot the best it could be by organizing it to every little detail there for i would have known if i missed anything out. The thing that work well in this task is the group, we all had the same ideas but also indervidual ideas that we each contributed to make our film individual to us.
6. What have you learnt from completing this task? Looking ahead, how will this learning be significant when completing the rest of your foundation coursework? I have learnt how to edit a piece of film using imovie, which I had never used before now. I will use the skills I have learnt when using the camera will be very useful in the foundation course work.
