Looking back at my prelim, I think that we have improved majorly. Our prelim was about a investigation, we had to use different camera angles, and show our editing skills. For our prelim we did a story board and an animated clip made from our story boards. These made us understand the stages we had to record.
We had to use a dark room for our prelim, which was pretty hard to find. For our actual opening, we were able to record at night and in the dark by switching off the lights, and only having the light dimmer as our only source of light. In our prelim we didn't really use much mise-en-scene except the hood on one of our characters. For our actual video, we were able to dress our character, and add make up to it too. The camera skills in our prelim consist of match cut and
Trying to keep in mind that we had to keep to the 180 rule was tricky for both of our videos. For both, there was little space, so it was harder for us trying to keep on one side. Filming the actual opening did take us extra time, approximately 4 days. Setting up the equipment for our opening was more easier than the prelim since we had practiced and gotten used to it.
The editing process for the prelim was easier than the final film. Everyone took turns in editing so we could all get a hang of it. We didn't really use any sounds except the ones that were recorded (whilst filming). We did not use Foley sounds which was a little bad since we couldn't understand some of our characters.
Whilst the course of our final film and everything in general, I was able to understand how to edit, record and use other equipment. Across both productions, I have learnt how to keep with the 180 rule and try out different camera angles so that the video is interesting, and that it is not only concentrating on one part. What I found hard was to be able to learn how to use Sound Track Pro, but I got the hang out it after a few tries.
