What have you learnt during the filming process?
Camera angles
During the filming process, I have made sure to implement numerous different camera and filming angles into the piece that have allowed it to work and flow well. These different shots have included: Shot/Reverse shot; over the shoulder shot; Establishing shots and the use of the 180 degree rule. These were all implemented into the piece and I feel as if they all allowed the end product to come together well. During the filming process, close up shots, medium close up shots and mid shots were used in order to build tension and then break that tension with awkward conversation filmed using over the shoulder shots. During the whole process, I learnt about a variety of camera angles that could be used to add diversity and keep the viewers entertained to the piece itself.
Premiere Pro (Editing)
I found that the editing process went fairly well and allowed for a good final video to be created. In editing, I used many different techniques including jump cuts and cross cuts that allowed my final edit to work well and for the storyline within it to flow. As well as this, I was able to place music within the edit to enhance the intensity of the storyline itself through the use of premiere pro. Match on action was also used in an attempt to add variety and dynamism to the edit and make it interesting for the viewer to watch. I learned, whilst editing, how to use the editing tools within Premiere itself and how to implement different types of colour grading (enhancing brightness, contrast etc) into the final edit.
Working as a group
Working as a group, I felt, went well. We were all able to understand and implement each others ideas into filming and how we would implement those same ideas within editing also. Each member of the group was able to have specific jobs during the filming process and each of us had an opportunity to carry out different rolls within the group e.g. filming, taking photos of the filming process etc. However, I found that we had small disagreements very rarely but we managed to overcome these quickly and easily.
The process of filming
The filming process itself went well. As a group, we were all able to implement our ideas of shots and angles that we were able to film and how we could film them in ways that would make the final edit as perfect as we possibly wanted it. I feel as if the filming process was quick and efficient as we managed to film the piece over a 2 hour period split over the two lessons that it took. We had completed filming quickly and had the interesting and diverse shots that we needed that we felt would work best within the final edit.
Mistakes and overcoming them
Successes
Overall, I feel as if there were many successes within our final edit. I feel as if the shots we used were perfect for how we wanted the final piece to turn out and I feel as if the editing enhanced this and allowed the final piece to look as good as we imagined it. In my opinion, most of the aspects of the process were successes other than the few mistakes we made that I have stated before.
