EVALUATION QUESTION 7
Q7. Looking
back at your preliminary task what do you feel you have learnt in the
progression from it to the full product?
Ans. The preliminary task was an activity that we
did in the beginning of the year and this was the first time I shot a film and
edited it. The end product had a lot of problems in it, there is too much light that is blocking the actors face and not
giving a clear understanding of the representation. Another problem that i
faced was with the voice, as this makes me realize that from next time I will
have to use a mic. Now that I look at the prelim I can critically analyze it
and have noticed that I didn’t take care of the 180 degree rule and there are a
lot of jump cuts. It was a first time experience with everything shooting,
editing, lighting and sound. It was a lot of fun shooting the prelim even
though it was a short lasting experience at that time, after this we were
introduced to the adobe premiere software. The editing had many lose hooks and
there were obvious jump cuts. Dialogues could not be heard clearly which
disconnected the audience from what was happening in the video.
Now when I compare the prelim video to my final product there is a
massive difference. There is a proper technique followed and entire paper work
is done before going for shoot. Story boards are made, scene division and shot
division have helped during the shoot as on location you panic and forget
scenes that are needed to be shot. I recorded the room tone so the voices
during the shoot can be covered, my source of light was sun so no artificial
lighting was used. I didn’t have to work on my mise en scene the location I
chose had all the look that I needed for my film.

EVALUATION QUESTION 6
Q6. What
have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this
product?
Ans: During
the process of masking my film I came across many software’s and technology
which I wasn’t aware of before. First
the equipment were introduced to us in which a tripod was a new thing that I
discovered. Most of the help I got was from youtube which helped me with their
tutorials on how to use these software’s.
The tripod
was a major help in my film even though I have used many point of views, it
bought a very stable look to the film and it wasn’t shacking the way it shacks
in a hand held. Apart from this was our cannon video camera which has a high
resolution and a built in slot for microphone so the voice can be recorded clearly
on the spot.
The
software’s that I came across during editing were adobe premier 6.5. I learned
a lot in premiere hoe to do color correction, put transitions, increase the
output of audio and effects that can be put in the video. We were given proper
classes before editing started where we were taught how to use these software’s
and later I practiced on it by experimenting with normal videos.
I had to put
premier 6.5 in my laptop due to its 1 GB ram however even after this the
editing was done smoothly as I did not have to use any after effects. All the
functions are basic and easy to understand.
Another software was audacity where I recorded the voice over’s for my
film.Audacity helped me in mix my audio and record my voice over’s
I used
xillisoft video convertor to convert my rushes to DV.
Apart from
this we had to maintain a blog of all the activities that we do in our media
class everyday and all the research, pre-production and post production work
has been posted on the blog. There has been a consistent growth in my work as
every level has taught me something new and it all collaboratively has helped
my put my product near to perfection.
I posted my film on facebook to get remarks from the audience. I made a separate facebook page:
I even posted it on twitter to attract more audience.
