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 the full product?

(adam)Since creating our preliminary task we have both learned an awful lot about both camera work and editing.

The main thing which we have both learned about editing after creating our final piece was the importance of making the sequence flow. This took some time to learn and many failed attempts but once we learnt how to do it correctly, we found that our media product benefited greatly from it. The way in which we made the sequence flow better was by cutting down each scene in a specific way to make it compliment the beat of the music and making each scene short and to the point.

(jake)In our final product, we had a much wider range of camera shots compared to our preliminary task which made our film opening look more professional and also show the progress we have made since the beginning of the year. Below are some example of different camera shots used in our final media product:


For the first scene in our opening sequence we used a Medium close up as shown on the left of your screen. This was a very basic camera shot but it served a good purpose for what we wanted from this scene.


This scene in our opening sequence uses a range of camera shots where the character "Mick" is fighting someone. This particular shot of him on the left of the screen shows an extreme close up of the character. This shot gives the scene variation and works well for the type of film we are creating.


This particular camera shot is called a Cut-in where the camera is focused on a different part of the subject in more detail, for example in this scene, the camera is focused on "Billy Rich" doing his tie.
