Equipment:
We used a video camera (make
unknown) to capture the footage and used a tripod to keep the camera still
whilst filming; we then uploaded it, converted it to mp4 and edited it on Adobe
Premiere.
Skills:
We used quite a lot of skills
whilst filming and editing. When filming we made sure we framed the shots to a
specific camera shot (e.g- medium closeup from breast pocket up), also using
the rule of thirds, the 180° rule and match on action to ensure continuity.
When editing we put music over the top and at points had to change the volume
of it so you could hear people speaking which was very fiddly. We also spent a
lot of time editing so the continuity and flow of our work was spot on.
Positives and Negatives:
Positives and Negatives:
The positives of our task are
that this was our second time filming so we had already learnt from our
mistakes, our previous work wasn’t long enough so we made sure we had filmed
lots of extra shots that could be put in if needed. Our speech was a lot longer
and the build up and cross cutting to the conversation was very good I think.
We also used music and writing to put over our text which nobody else did so I
think we went the extra mile with improving our work. The negatives were that
even though we did spend a while trying to get our music perfect it still
didn’t go completely well and there’s one shot where its louder than Anais
talking which didn’t work well.
Shots and techniques:
Shots and techniques:
We used quite a lot of shots in
this to see how many we could use. We used a long shot with me walking into the
distance, then we cut away from it back to the conversation and then back to me
walking but in a different place to show time had passed. We used a lot of over
the shoulder shots during the conversations but mixed them with closeup
reaction shots. The shots we used when I walk from one side of the door to the
other were cut well to establish continuity.
