Evaluation Question 7

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

When deciding what to do for preliminary task, we decided that we were going to have an argument between two people about something that the audience did not know about. This argument included one person walking up to another and telling that person that they are 'not able to do it'. The other person then responds to this with aggression and questions why and what makes them think that they can just 'quit' whatever they started. We started off by doing a storyboard on what we were going to film and in what order it was going to be put. Once we started filming we had to keep in account three things; the 180 degree rule, had to include match on action and shot reverse shot. Our filming was easy to start off with but getting everything on film was hard as we had to film from different angles and not have other cameramen showing in the others shot. In our main task, it was then easier to film as we had now gotten the hang off how to film as well as how we could get the right angles and scenes.

This clip is from our main task, our final media product. It is a continuity edit of the coffee getting scooped by a spoon and into a cup. We filmed the scooping of the coffee with spoon as a different scene to the coffee going into the cup. However the continuity edit has made it into looking like one whole scene.

As well as that, we also used iMovie to edit our task. We found that our media film opening went well with dissolve edit, as this made it blend in together well and made it fast and look good when put as one.

We also gave the audience a quick scare by putting a jump cut scene of the old woman in near the end of our film opening. This jump cut was an extreme close up of Ruby as the old woman and is a quick flash of her up close to the screen. We thought this added a thriller and in a way scary aspect to our media product.
