Media premilinary task

This is our premilinary task. Our task had four people in it, Me, Jess and Steph were acting in the film and amie was recording it.

When we first had our lesson on the premilinary task we planned what we were going to include in it. We decided that amie would be the director. I wrote out a basic script for us to work off, but this was only basic as we wanted to add to it and compramise ourselves. We filmed a lot of different versions of camera shots to chose the best ones and to make our own versions of the video personalised and different to the rest of the group. When I watched other peoples videos in class and when I watched other films in class I noticed all the different camera angles they use and how it makes it look very good. So I made sure we included lots of different camera angles which I think makes it look good.

We filmed the characters from behind and had meduim and long shots. Aswell as close ups, 180% rule, shot reverse shot, two shot etc. The way we created many different shots was filming at different points, for example we filmed walking towards the door, opening the door and then filmed from inside walking into the room. This ensured not only did we include many shots but that the audience was clear on what was happening and you could tell what was going on. It didn't take us very long at all to film our video because we were prepared and knew what we were going to do. However we had to redo a part of the video as it wasn't clear on what I said.

Later on we uploaded it to the mac's and individually edited our video. We had lots of shots to chose from although they were simular. I chose the shots that I thought worked best and make it clear what they are showing and what's going on. I cut a lot of fotage out and used applications on Final Cut, the marking in and out tool let me delete the footage I didn't want very precisely,so, I could cut footage down right to the second. I added in effects e.g. fading at the end and i put in text at the start.
