Evaluation 7
- 1. Evaluation 7 – Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
- 2. Filming and editing: After we had finished our preliminary task, we had gained new knowledge about the equipment and software needed to produce the opening sequence, for example when filming we learnt and studied the different camera shots and techniques used such as action match, pan, 180 degree rule, close ups, extreme close ups etc. This helped us a lot to understand the different types that we wanted to include in our opening sequence and helped develop our skills even more when applying it to our opening sequence once we had shot our clips, we went straight to editing them where we learnt a great deal about the software final cut express which we had spoke about in evaluation ,so by learning many of these features already by testing them on the prelim, we were able to edit our opening sequence in a much more professional way which really enhanced our skills as we got faster at certain things.
- 3. Sound: After creating our preliminary task, sound proved to be the main issue when editing as we seemed to get places where there were unnecessary speaking and sound, eventually we learnt how to get rid of the sound by selecting the sound bar and deleting it. However we did add our own sound over the sequence, we did this by downloading the sound on YouTube and converting it to mp3 and then dragged in onto the bar underneath our opening sequence.
- 4. Directing and Writing: For our preliminary task we all came up with ideas and wrote them down individually however after finishing our prelim editing we realised that writing the script of the opening sequence will help us improve a lot more as when you are producing you need to work together. As directing goes, we all had a part in directing our prelim, However after the prelim we understood that not all of us can do the same things as there are other jobs to be doing which is why we learnt from this and assigned each other on what they are doing for the actual opening sequence.
- 5. Planning: Then conducting our preliminary task we found that planning did not go as well as we thought due to not enough communication from some, similarly we had the same issues when creating our opening sequence, however we understood this issue and resolved it quickly so that we could create a successful opening sequence.
- 6. Storyboard and scripting: Creating a storyboard and scripting our opening sequence proved much more successful than our prelim as we all sat down for a couple of hours and properly discussed the storyline for our opening sequence which we could then create in to a storyboard and script it, however in the prelim as I’ve said before we had issues with communication but we managed to overcome that to finish our opening sequence.
- 7. Weaknesses of our preliminary task: • Not so much knowledge of camera shot/angles/movement. • Lack of editing skills to make our preliminary task better. • Continuity errors. • Unnecessary speaking. • Lack of communication.
- 8. Assurance of no weaknesses in our final piece: We have ensured that these weaknesses are not in our final piece as firstly we learnt a lot more about camera shots, angles and movement after completing our prelim and we worked on them in practice clips. secondly, from learning how to edit between the time we finished the prelim and editing the opening sequence we had learnt a great deal about how to edit effectively. Thirdly, there would be no continuity errors and unnecessary speaking as we shot our clips carefully and edited anything wrong in the clips out. Lastly, We know that we have improved communication as we worked together through the last weeks and made sure each of us are doing well in editing and sorting everything out.
- 9. How to make a good practical piece: To make a good practical piece I believe that a lot of hard work is required along with patience so that you can get the end product that you want and also to keep practicing and learning new techniques that can enhance your product every day.
- 10. Overall: Overall, I think that I have learned a lot more about the practical work than I ever thought I would and I have learnt how to use many different types of software and technologies such as final cut pro. I learnt how to add sound, log and transfer, import, saturate colors, add titles to clips, cut in and out of clips etc. which I can now use for other things in the future. Another software was live type, this taught me how to create professional titles by choosing a font and color and adding it to my clips. I also believe that due to working on the preliminary task before the final piece, I could understand many more techniques meaning I can successfully apply them to my final product and so that I don't make mistakes and create a decent overall end product.
