Prelim Task Evaluation

Prelim Task Evaluation

For this task we (a group of 4) created a 60 second film in which we needed to plan, film and edit ourselves. A lot of emphasis was placed on the different camera angles we used. In my opinion I think we used a wide variety of different angles to get our message across e.g. using low angle shots to give the protagonist more threatening features. Overall I am very happy with our final product we worked well as a team and all participated evenly. My main role was the bulk of editing our 60-second film by ordering our clips chronologically and adding sound effects and a soundtrack to the background. I had never previously used final cut to edit before so I had to learn as I was using it and to be fair I feel my overall performance in using it was a lot better than I first expected it would be however I may need to improve a lot more for future edits as it may require more detail to make the overall finished product a lot more professional. I also got a lot more experience in using the tripod and cameras to film our 60-second so in general I feel more comfortable when using the cameras around the college. If there was one thing I could improve it would be some minor errors we made when filming for example moving the furniture around and people in the background of the shot. However this was due to the limited timeframe we had when shooing our prelim task. If we had more time we could have perfected task to our own standards. Although I did enjoy this task as we were aloud a certain freedom and got some experience with the software and cameras.
