Planning: (Complete before starting work)
To be able to do this task we had to research different camera angles for our homework and then film them at college a week later so today my aim is to film them all and start to edit them. I also need to finish some of the writing tasks we have been set. For me to be able to do this task I need to make sure I do the homework before I start the filming to make sure I know what I need to film to get the right angle. I will need a few different skills for example I need camera skills so I know how to work the cameras, I need to know what all the cameras are and how to film them and I also need file management skills as I will have a lot of video clips and I need to make sure I know where they all are and make sure they don’t get lost. To be able to finish this task I will need to research the different camera angles and find information about them and learn how to use the editing site.
Research & Experimentation:
Before doing this task we experimented quite a lot, for example we saw example shots, that other people had done before use, before we starting filming our own, we got shown how to use the cameras and we got shown how to use to use the editing site we will be using to edit the shots. Whilst doing this project I used quite a few different sources, for example we used adobe premiere pro for the editing site, I used Google to find information about the different camera angles we needed to know about. All these helped me to be able to finish the task we need to.
Production:
Whilst I was doing this project I came across a few problems that I had to over come. For example we didn’t manage to film all the camera angles we needed to, to be able to do the project and to finish it all and another problem that I had to overcome was that the computer I was working on wasn’t working properly. To solve these problems we had to go back out to finish filming the rest of the angles we didn’t manage to film earlier in the day. to solve the other problem about the computer I had to re-start the whole thing and hope that it then worked.
Reflection:
I didn’t manage to achieve my main goal today. I didn’t manage to finish the other work either, this is because it took longer to film all of the camera angles than we thought it would. I need to change my plans for the next time because I need to start editing the video clips together when I should’ve done that before hand. To stop this from happening next time I need to work quicker and make sure I get the first bit done in time so that I don’t get behind in the future. Next time I need to start and finish the editing the video clips together and I need to finish the writing part of the project.
To export your video you need to go to file, export and change the format to H.264, change what it is called to something you’ll know and remember, you also need to change source range to entire sequence and finally press export. It will take a few moments to export it all.
