preliminary task evaluation


i used a blog to efficiently record all my work online, i used a sony camera, sd card, and a tripod to hold the camera but i didn’t like using prezi because powerpoint is much easier to use. We also used jonnys nokia lumia 520 which is red, and he drops it all the time. We also used Microsoft word for the planning and designing of the storyboard and also the evaluation. I think the finished piece was  great, but jonny doesn’t like the final product because he wasn’t satisfied and he doesn’t like the black and white effect that we chose to use. ? We done 18 shots, the techniques were shot reverse shot, 180 degree rule and match on action.

It only took 3 hours because there wasn’t that much dialogue, we didn’t need to create a risk assessment as it was set in dans garage and it was pretty much empty, and there were limited objects that could be used to cause any bodily harm (except a gasoline bottle) but i did end up falling very violently off a chair and onto the very cold concrete floor which made my bottom cold. The 3 camera techniques we used were shot reverse shot, match on action and the 180 degree rule which added good effect to our short film.

 

After we finished the editing of the film, we shown our media group our video and our class the next morning. they have mostly given us positive feedback as the 3 camera shots quite clearly worked to our advantage, and they are impressed  with the acting and the special effects. We also got given some constructive and respective criticism such as the picture quality not being to the standard it should of been.  The changes we should make is that we need to use a better camera instead of jonnys phone as the picture quality of the video turned out to be quite blurry, and it would of been easier to film if we had more space to film as dans garage did have enough space.

Statement of intent


Statement of intent


Andrew Grabham

As a 16 year old student I still live with my parents, and own a legendary dog. He is an absolute lad,  quite antisocial and hates most people. I am currently at the John Bentley sixth form in calne, studying ict, media and travel and tourism at A level. These options will help me to pursue a motoring based career because I am a massive petrol head and for the record I think The McLaren p1 is the best car of all time.

I am highly intrigued by media and how things are made, I have a slight experience of editing and shooting videos as I took part in the brilliant hot fuzz remake in calne video (link here  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAywoh6e8mg )
My favourite film types are:
Comedy
Action
