EVALUATION: Q7

Instead of doing a hand drawn storyboard I thought it would be good if we did a digital storyboard. This is so that we were differentiated from our class.

I learnt many camera skills. For example-
-How to focus
-Pan
-Tilt
-The difference between a pan and a tilt.
-Set up tripod, adjust the height
-Record
-Frame a shot
-1/3rd rule
-180 degrees rule

Mise en scene- For our preliminary we were well prepared and has costumes for it. This is similar to our actual thriller; however, we were more organised, and had to be, because we were shooting at and unfamiliar location and there was no room for errors.

The mise en scene we had in our thriller was the protagonist wearing a suit, carrying a suitcase and shooting inside a house.

Editing- I learnt how to import and export films in and out of Final Cut Pro and Sound Track Pro. I learnt how to compose match cuts, how to make cross cutting, add music and add sound effects.

I learnt how to add titles on to our film opening and the way in which you add special effects onto the video. For example, I added a static effect onto the kidnapped video scene, so that it looks realistic. Kidnappers wouldn't have expensive equipment and I wanted to illustrate that.  

I learnt that you need a video drive to access Final Cut Pro and Sound Track Pro.

When I filmed the preliminary I didn't have much experience. It would take me a long time to edit. Now however, I am confident in editing, filming and have many useful skills.
