By looking back at my preliminary task, I have learnt
that both Taja and I could have used more hand gesture and eye contact towards
each other in the footage the reason being is that I feel like we lose the
connection between the each other that looked as if we did not want to be
there. Next time if we learn our lines for the interview and have better
lighting as well as location for the interview, we would have gotten a much
better outcome for the interview task., as well as us giving big gestures as well
as facial expression so show both our interest and in the interviews case
knowledge about the questions for the person he is interviewing. As a whole the
interview looked dull and very flat to seeing as in the background you could see and hear the
typing motion of the keyboard as well as the location of a classroom shows that
it was very last minute and the ambient sound takes you away from the interview
conversation that is happing in the foreground of the camera. Furthermore we
should have made the interview more realistic, by having it recorded in a
quieter room here the audience would not lose focus from the interview that is
going on. Next time I think that Taja and I could have done takes in order for
us to get a much better outcome of the interview so that it would of appeared
much more shaper and cleaner for the audience to make out what was going on.
However, having said that I think that the topic of conversation going on
between Taja and I was clear and basic, seeing as we were both talking about
the brand new film that Taja was going to star in soon. In conclusion this was our first attempt at recording
that we have done before our final product of the film opening scene. The camera techniques that were used were practical and
worked well in our favour, as seeing as we shown a rang of angles such as an
over the shoulder shot, shot reverse, shot , close-ups on the interviewee and
also medium shots, to see show the location of the interviews surroundings. To
start our interview we decided to use a long and medium shot of the Taja and I
entering the classroom, this was done by having Taja knocking on the down by
the camera then switching to a mid shot of me opening the door., this was to
star the interview.
The continuation from the preliminary task to the actual
film was very successful as I used carious different camera techniques which
were completely different to the interview that we as a group did. We learnt
how to use the film and video software called ‘Adobe premiere’ that allowed us
to structure and to piece together our interview better in a full death editing
process. Also as well as converting the videos from a canon camera into a
moving montage of images to make the interview look like a continuations scene.
All in all I have learnt that a if we used a soundtrack or a sound motifer for the interview which we would have lost the effect
that e were trying to convey to the audience therefore, by use just using
dialogue gave a much bigger impact then if we just used sound or a voiceover.
Later on, I realised that as we recorded the footage in small clips, the
editing process was much longer, therefore Taja and I had to stretch and cut
out some bits of footage on adobe premiere that was not necessary for the
interview. Furthermore, as our clips of footage where not that long it was much
simpler and easy for Taja and I to create a shot montage of clips that where
put together. Moreover, we then decided to add in transition to help make our
film appear more smooth and sharp , which we chose a simple but slick
transition of a fade in and out at appropriate times in the footage. Therefore,
the footage was able to move smoothly and quickly into the next scene. In
conclusions, I realised that we should of stayed with or
first initial idea of showing the audience the negative impacts of drug and
alcohol abuse from the main protagonists perspectives the reason for this is so
that they are able to see the impact it has on them and the way it which it
affects them and others around them. All in all we did not want to complicate
the structure or the outcome of our film opening so we decided against it.
