Evaluation Activity 7

Since my preliminary task i have learnt a lot of new things and changes in terms of editing, camera shots and camera angles this is because i am a lot more comfortable and familiar when using equipment and editing on the softwares we used. When making the film i was able to explore new softwares and techniques in more depth i got better with the editing over time but the preliminary task i was editing as a beginner but over time and when it was time to edit the movie i was able to extend my knowledge and i felt ready to edit to perfection. I'm now able to understand how to use a range of and what their effect on the audience is this helped me a lot towards making the movie because it helped me appeal to the specific audience who watch sci fi movies. for example, why establishing the setting was very important to create a euphoria for the audience, i also learnt the effectiveness of shots such as close ups and when to use them and when they are over used. Editing has been a whole new subject to me and i have now learnt many different tols such as how to use VFX and how to use different techniques to me enable match on action our movie compared to the preliminary task shows how different the editing is. When looking back on my preliminary task i can see all the areas were i could of improved for example having longer shots, use of sound and mise en scene but when i look at my movie i can see that i did improve drastically.  

 This camera shot has taught me a lot and has shown me that i can improve for example the camera is shakey because we didn't use a tripod we could improve by using a tripod which is what we did in our movie. We could of also switched shots from a medium shot to close up as this would of made it more effective. We could of also used a different angle maybe a low one looking up to show dominance of this character.

I have learnt a lot since this shot i can see many different ways i could of improved for example we could have chosen a better location as the lighting is not very good and you cannot see the character on screen. There was also a incorrect use of editing and there could of been a fade of black to change scenes as it would of made it more effective and clean.
