Evaluation 7

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

Preliminary Task Vs Silentium 

When looking back at my first project I can see what could be changed and added but with that there are parts that I could took from it and could of added into Silentium.

Preliminary Task: Was the first real taste of the pressure of film making with all the pre-production work that me and jack had to do between us. With that we had to learn the shots and angles needed for a video but in our first video we needed to have certain instructions and shot we had to use and learn and they were:

 The 180 degree rule is when you have two people in a conversation that are opposite each other the space between them makes the line of a protractor which shows you where you are allowed to go with the camera but if you go on the other side of the 180 degree angle then you would be braking the rule. 

Match on action is where let's say a person walk to a door open it and enter the room, so you would have the shot of the person opening the door from the outside and the next shot would be from inside the room shooting the person coming the room pushing the door open.

Shot reverse shot is where two people are having a convocation and it switches between the two people to see the other speak to the other with the camera over there left shoulder if the other person is looking to the right to speak, then on the right should for the other person as the guy then speaking must be looking left.

From the Preliminary Task I have learnt the basics for the main task, the editing process was annoying as it took ages to load and it made the video come out all pixelated and barely hard to see what is going on. 

The two thing's I would change is that I should of added some non diegetic sound in the parts where there was no sound involved. The second is to make sure the lighting is able to pick it up properly with the camera.  

Looking at Silentium I would say its ten time better as the lighting is used better then it was in the first video the picture its self its much more high quality then the first video as I edited this one on my own editing software on my laptop which is easy to use plus it helped putting non diegetic sound in over the top of the video.

With this project I had to make a production company and logo to put on at the begging of the video as if it was like a real film, the main part of this project was to be able to make an opening sequence with the opening credits running on the screen which was easier then I thought it was going to be.
