Don't steal my stuff, thank you
1. What have you learnt by doing this exercise?
WWW: We had a good variety of different shots which made the film flow quite nicely. EBI: If we improved on our sound, and the background noise would hopefully not be such a distraction. Also a longer film because it was a short film which was under 3 mins We learned that: we should have some kind of sound microphone to help get rid of background noise and to stick to our shot list thoroughly because we had to add some footage in the later days because we missed some footage out. 2. What skills have you developed? Pre-Production: We made a detailed shot list which gave us a good guide line for filming. Also we made a storyboard which gave us a good understanding of the variety of shots we wanted to have. Production: We filmed our film swiftly and thanks to the shot list and storyboard it was fairly easy on what to do when filming. We developed our skills by having a camerawomen instead of the camera just being on a tripod which enhanced our shots. Post-Production: Once we had all of the footage, we started to edit and I used color grading for the first time which clearly stated there was a dream at one point in the film. Also I used effects to easily transfer between shots. 3. What feedback have you received? By my fellow classmates, the feedback i received was to shorten each clip so it flowed a bit more, and also to play around with a bit more music cause for half of it there was nothing and background noise did take over a bit, invest in a microphone. Did you do a screening before the final edit? - I showed it to my teacher before the final edit but not to my other classmates. Did you show a variety of audiences? - No, next time before I have produced my final edit I will do a screening to my family to get their opinions and other friends. What changes did you make based on feedback? - I had cut out a few shots, and originally I had a few repeated shots but my teacher showed that they weren't really needed, so I got rid of them. Also I added some more transition effects which made it flow nicely and it wasn't hectic. 4. How would you improve you group work task? Cut out useless shots - If I don't it makes the final edit a bit boring and long where as you would rather something a little shorter and better quality. Use a song - Maybe have a song flowing through the background of the film, it's not always necessary but in this film I think that it would have been better if I had used a song in the background maybe from Filmstro. Use a microphone - Invest in a microphone because there was a bit of background noise and it distracted from what was actually happening. Stick to our planning - I think we should pay lots of attention to our shot list when filming cause we missed a few shots and then we had to film a bit more.
