EVALUATION
ACTIVITY 6
what have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing
this product?
When producing our film opening sequence we had to use various
technologies such as abode premiere pro, which was used to edit our opening
sequence. In addition I have learnt a lot when we edited our film; there were
some editing strategies on that software that I was not aware of before now I
have learnt new things on there, now I have a better understanding on using the
software. I learned various editing techniques like, cutting and
trimming.
Also when filming
our movie we had to use a tripod so when recording the picture can stay still
rather than filming hand held because in that way the video would be shaky and
would not look good. But on some occasion we decided to hold the camera, for
example when the chase scene was recorded we never used the tripod because by
holding the camera would create an effect when the person is running the camera
would shake so then it would create tension and suspense. The tripod was for
the camera to stand on it so that it’s balanced and the shot can be still which
I learned how to use it.
When we were producing our film most of the lighting was just the
daylight from outside because most of our opening was filmed outside, and
at the start of our opening sequence we filmed in the school theatre which
we had to use lights, we used a bright light over the side of the character so
that it can create an effect, the effect is that one side of the character is
dark, so that you cannot see the character clearly which generates some mystery
to the character. I have learned how to use the lights in the theatre whereas I
never knew how to control the theatre lights.
To
actually film our movie we used a Panasonic HD camera, which I used the camera
a lot throughout the process of filming, I learned a lot of how to use the
camera also I learned a lot features of the camera such as the viewing the
recorded content on the camera also the of how to zoom in and out. My
knowledge on how to use them has vastly changed and I can utilize the cameras
very professionally. I know a lot about the particular camera
because I know how to change setting for various things like the setting for
the brightness, the contrast and many more. Also I have learned how to change
the mode of the camcorder so that I can take still pictures, also I learned how
to view the videos that are recorded and I can view them on the camera screen.
In addition, I know where all the buttons are on the camera like the on and
off, and also I know where the SD card is, so I can take it out and save it on my
computer. Also I know how to format the card so that all the videos and
pictures get deleted. I have learned quite a lot of camera shots; I have
learned the long shot which shows the full body, from head to toe in the
picture. Also I have learned the shot/shot reserve, which films use when people
are having a conversation, which the shots would be over the shoulders of the
character. Also, I learned the close up shots which shows a subject close up or
shows the characters emotions; also I have learned the high angle shots and the
low angle shots, which high angle shots show dominance and low angle shot shows
someone that is lower.
