LOOKING BACK AT YOUR PRELIMINARY TASK, WHAT DO YOU FEEL THAT YOU HAVE LEARNT IN THE PROGRESSION

FROM IT TO THE FULL PRODUCT?EVALUATION TASK 7

ALL IN ALL

• AFTER MY PRELIMINARY TASK I HAVE LEARNT MANY THINGS. TO START WITH, I LEARNT HOW TO DO ACTION MATCH AND THAT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE AUDIENCE TO CONTINUE THE ACTION OF THE CHARACTER. MOREOVER, I UNDERSTOOD THAT EVERY SMALL DETAIL IN MY OPENING SEQUENCE REPRESENTS SOMETHING AND SYMBOLISE SPECIFIC THING.

BASICALLY…

• MY GROUP HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE ORGANISATION THAT’S WHY I DID OPENING SEQUENCE BY MYSELF. IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO CARRY THE EQUIPMENT ALL OVER LONDON BUT I LEARN HOW TO PUT THE CAMERA ON THE TRIPOD. ALSO, THE RESOURCES I NEED LIKE THE ARM IN MY OPENING SEQUENCE AND THE FLOWERS, I BOUGHT THEM IN ORDER TO CREATE THE OPENING SEQUENCE. I LEARNT THAT THE PLANNING IS VITAL IN ORDER TO CREATE A GOOD PROJECT. WHEN IT COMES TO THE LIGHT, I WAS WAITING FOR A CLOUDY DAY AND I TRIED NOT TO PUT THE CAMERA ON THE WAY OF THE NATURAL LIGHT. I SOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE ZOOM TECHNIQUE.

THE SCARIEST MOMENT

• BASICALLY, THE EDITING PART IS A VERY COMMON TO MAKE ONE VIDEO GOOD AND FOR THAT REASON I LEARNT THAT THE EDITING CAN BE GOOD IF THERE IS ENOUGH FOOTAGE. ONLY ONE MORE PERSON WAS INVOLVED IN THE PRODUCTION AND HE WAS REALLY KIND TO SPEND ONE WHOLE DAY WITH ME AND TO WEAR THE CLOTHES THAT I ASKED TO SEE IN MY OPENING SEQUENCE. THE LOCATIONS WERE PUBLIC SO I DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THAT. I TOOK SOME SHOTS IN TATE, AS WELL BUT I DID NOT ASK NO ONE FOR PERMISSION. THE SHOT AT THE END WITH THE FAST MOVING CARS WAS THE MOST EXTREME SHOT IN MY OPENING SEQUENCE, BECAUSE I WAS BETWEEN THE TWO PARTS OF THE ROAD AND MANY CARS WERE GOING BY ME VERY FAST. I WAS SITTING THERE FOR 15 MINUTES IN ORDER TO GET ENOUGH FOOTAGE THAT AFTER THAT I MADE IT FASTER AND TO HAVE JUST 10 SECONDS VIDEO.

PROGRESSION…

• HOWEVER, I THE SCENE OF ST PAUL IS SHOT FROM A LIFT IN A CITY CENTRE NEXT TO IT AND IT WAS HARD TO NOT SHAKE THE CAMERA WHILE THE LIFT IS MOVING. UNFORTUNATELY, MOST OF MY PUBLISHED PLANNING TASKS WERE FOR THE OPENING SEQUENCE MADE BY ME AND MY GROUP SO I DID NOT HAVE A CLEAR PLAN OF MY VIDEO PRODUCTION BUT THE IDEA TO MAKE AN OPENING SEQUENCE BY MYSELF WAS GREAT BECAUSE NOW I HAVE A GREAT PRODUCT.

• DURING MY EDITING PART I CHANGED THE IDEA AND THE ORDER OF THE SHOTS ABOUT 10 TIMES IN ORDER TO GET THE STORYLINE OF MY SHOTS AS REAL AND EFFECTIVE AS I IMAGINED THAT THE VIDEO SHOULD BE. I SHOT EVERYTHING FOR TWO DAYS AND I SPEND MY WHOLE DAY EDITING THE VIDEO BECAUSE I THINK THAT WHEN I START DOING SOMETHING I HAVE TO FINISH IT AS FAST AS POSSIBLE AND AFTER THAT TO LEAVE IT FOR A WHILE IN ORDER TO CONSIDER THE IDEA BETTER AND AFTER TWO WEEKS LOOK AT IT AGAIN AND I DECIDED TO CHANGE A FEW THINGS.
