Fo49 question 7
- 1. Question 7 Looking back at your prelim task, what have you learnt in the progression from that to the final product?
- 3. What was the task? • The task was to match the action of someone walking into a room, sitting down at a table and engaging in a conversation, using shot reverse shot action.
- 4. Skills learned • How to use a camera • How to get the eye line match correctly • Framing a shot • Using the 180 degree’s rule
- 5. Overall thoughts Overall, I was very pleased with my preliminary task because I was able to edit the piece together so hardly any mistakes were made. There were some areas of improvement. The match on match action could be changed at the door scene to make it look smoother when my partner was walking through the door.
- 6. Difficulties that could be overcome • Glass windows – showed refection's of our bodies when we weren’t in shot • Match on match action was difficult to get right • Difficult to edit the walking scene, it didn't’t flow to the best of my ability
- 7. Final cut
- 8. What was the task? • The task was to create the titles and opening of a new fiction film to last a maximum of 2 minutes.
- 9. Overall thoughts All together I thought my final piece was much better than my preliminary task because I was able to use my skills that I had gained from the task and place it into the final cut. To edit the scene together I used “Final cut pro” which gave it a more precise cut when editing the scenes together. I used all the skills I had learned in the preliminary task to create an opening scene that relates to my intended audience.
- 10. Skills improved • Framing • Match on match action • Using the 180 degree rule • Adding a variety of shots
- 11. Skills learned • How to use a boom mic • Using a cannon XA25 camera – different settings, recording on MP4 to get a better quality film • How a time line has different layers to add music and text over the scenes • Using dissolves • Colour matching scenes
- 12. What can be improved? • There still was a few costume continuous errors – mainly with the costumes of the experiment • Rather than filming the scene in two days I’d try and focus more on trying to film on the same day so the lighting in the shot can cause limited problems. • Focus more on the last shot – It was slightly wonky
