Preliminary Task Video

Evaluation

In the creation of my video I went out and shot my video in the canteen of college with my actors who were Demi Wrenn and Ollie Dwyer. I thought the filming went okay and I was done within half and hour. I then went back to the media room and watched over each of my clips. Unfortunately, I realized my initial conversation parts were too quiet and it was barely audible, therefore I had to recoup my actors and go back to the canteen to shoot again. This time I got them to speak louder, and they had to speak even louder because people had came to the canteen. With this filming I acknowledged the volume of their voices as I didn't want to have to come back and shoot again as I wanted to begin my editing properly.  I then came back to the media room and watched over the clips and they were as good as they was going to get with the volume the canteen was at already. I then uploaded the new videos to imovie and begun to make my video again, I didn't bother trimming the video length as I didnt feel it was important.

I added the music of Justin Bieber by youtube converting it to itunes and then adding it via itunes, I then dubbed the volume of the clips where there was no one speaking so it sounded more professional. I then muted the volume of the music which was over the clips on the clips which had speech so it was audible and I showed conversation.

I then added credits to my movie, starting with the title screen and then ending with the various credits which labelled the actors, film crew and actors.

Overall I think this went well, however to improve I would check over my footage before returning. Also I think I could of done the editing better and perhaps made the music flow better, however due to not actually getting marks for the quality of this work, I wasn't overly bothered as I wanted to get it done quickly so I could work on my actual task and make that really good.

I think what I did well was bettering my knowledge of credits and therefore creating the credits in this preliminary task was a lot easier than the first time I made credits, I achieved this by looking at movie credits, however I think personally I could still improve on this by perhaps using livetype for my credits on my main coursework and researching credits even further as I am still not 100% but as I already said, I wasn't overly trying hard with this preliminary task.
