post 10: evaluation of skills devoloped

Although I had done GCSE media and already knew about location recces and types of shots the preliminarily task helped me develop skills such as working with new people that I didn’t originally know, this helped me as we had different ideas and therefore could combine them to make a strong idea. During the pre-production we had to learn to communicate and let everybody have a say as it was group work thankfully we didn’t find this a challenge as we welcomed everyone’s ideas. We had to become creative and come up with ideas that we thought no other group would do this was a lot harder than we thought but eventually we put all our ideas together and came up with an idea that the other groups didn’t have. I also learnt all the risks into filming the continuity task by doing the risk assessment as we had to make sure we evaluated everything so there was no risk of one of us or the equipment coming to harm although I already had an understanding of this I learnt more.    

During the filming we had to learn to come up with new ideas as we were filming, such as the library wasn’t free when we planned to use it so we had to work as a group to postpone it until after school. This was a new skill that I had learnt as before we were told what to do but now we had to talk amongst us and plan ourselves.    

After the filming we had to do the post production we had to use the editing suit although we followed the instruction and also had previous acknowledgment of the function of the editing suit we found some problems such as we couldn’t find the right camera to use to upload the video although this was a problem we all worked together and overcame it. I learnt how to edit the filmed action together and also how to label each rush and take note of the in code and out code. We also learnt all the different types of editing techniques such as fading and also how to add credits.

By watching the preliminary task back I understand that we didn’t follow exactly to the script as we didn’t have enough time to say all the lines also another prospect that we could improve would be to use different shot sizes next to each other as there are 3 close ups edited together.

  1. and remember to start the camera before the scene starts so you have room to edit. Then it is a close eye that reveals how many steps to the chair it is when you cut to the next shot. The slightest error here stands out.
