Task Six
In hindsight, I believe that my execution of the weekly targets and the lesson logs have been successful. I have reached my overall target of producing a video about myself and posting it on my blog.
To meet my target of completing my production I had to produce weekly targets, helping me spread out the workload. Organisation is key to success.
To have a well-organised production, I wrote a script, helping me plan my shooting. This compiled of shots angles, what I am going to say and the settings. The script; in hindsight was very helpful for me to achieving a well planned out executed video, however, in the future I plan to have the effects written in the script.
A major stepping stone and learn curve for me what to use the software to help me achieve a well-produced video. Adobe premier pro and Final cut was the software used; different from each other, both having their pros and cons. The reason why I used adobe premier pro is because it is designed for a Windows operating system, rather than Mac, allowing me to use it at home, Final cut is designed for Mac.
The five shot rule was very educational upon helping me through out this course:
- 1. Close up on hands
- 2. Close up on face
- 3. Wide shot
- 4. Over the shoulder
- 5. Creative shot
The five shot rule was used in my video production, helping me create a smooth transition from one set of frames to another set of frames. Also, the creative shots I used were zoom in and out from medium shot to close up – helping me engage with the viewer.
Discovering how to use the camera effectively with and without a stand to help produce good shots was enjoyable.
To motivate me as a learner – an effective learner- I just needed to be engaged in the activities more. Bit more known in the teamwork. The independent work I was fine, I just needed to post my ideas a bit more widely.
The comments about my video production have helped me understand how to shoot more effectively and how to make the shooting more effective. I understood from the feedback that my sounds quality isn’t the greatest, which in the future will help me focus more attention on that.
Personally, I think I can improve on my editing, I believe I can be more creative to produce a better selection of shots – something to capture the attention more.
My overall view of my video is that I believe its good in terms of visual footage and information. I tried to add humour with me getting my headphones stolen at the end of the video, linking to the intro where I start up the music. I also tried to be as informative as I can be, giving reasons why I am in media.
The overall unit gave me a clear perspective on video shooting and how to make shots effective. The viral marketing research was the most effective for me in terms of what I want to do when I finish studying this course.
