Evaluation Q7

Looking back at your prelim task what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Since the prelim task i have been alot more aware of the different rules of film e.g in the prelim we broke the 180 degree rule which made me alot more aware of it when we came to doing our filming for our film. I also learnt how to time things better and to take more than one shot as there is more than likely going to be something your not happy with so if you got more than one then it is going to be a higher chance of one being one you like. Also timing after shots, you can take bits off if the shots too long but you cant add anything on if you didnt film for long enough. This also helped with the match on action shot we did where the girl falls to the floor by the boy, another tecnique iv learnt to use better since the prelim task. We also did some shot reverse shot but didnt use it as it made the opening to long and it wasnt needed but i was already pretty confident with that way of shooting.

Evaluation Q6

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of creating this product?

Id had some practice working with a camera before and in our prelim tasks i made my skills alot more better like i learnt about different shots and i learnt the different rules that you have to abied by to make a film (180 degree rule) we also made sure we used a tripod everytime whist filming so there are no shakey shots in our film. I also had no idea how to use iMovie HD but after a while we learnt the basic funtions of it and could use the effects and audio funtions confidently. We would of liked to use the narrations but we didnt need them for our film and i think it would of been a bit much if we had used them on our film. The proram was on the apple Macs which we were both confident in using (even though we dont enjoy using them) but we knew how to use them. We used youtube and youtube converter to get the song we wanted onto MP3 so we could put it on our film, we were both alreay confident with youtube as we had used it many times before, but i had never used the converter before so that was something else i learnt about how to use.
