In this task, I was paired with Leon and we had to create a mood montage. We picked a random mood out of a hat and from there we had to shoot and edit a small montage.

Our mood was secrecy. Here we had to come up with as many ideas as we could. Then we had to turn these ideas into actual shots and perform the montage.

Three Strengths:

• Good array of shots
• No shaky camera work ( Stable Shots)
• Good syncing when editing

Three Weaknesses:

• We lacked footage so we had to reuse some clips
• The genre is not very clear
• Not a very serious feel.

Reflection:

This task was very useful to me for many reasons. First of all I learnt how to use all the features of a dslr camera. This is useful as this is the same camera I will be using in my music video shoot so it is always helpful to understand how to use the equipment. We also used the software premier pro. Although we only grasped the basics it is still useful to familiarize yourself with anything new such as this. Things like this make the task useful as I can transfer these skills when filming my music video.
