Our Storyboard:
The narrative sequence:
Whilst filming our sequence we made sure that we kept in mind the success criteria to get into the habit of making a video that follows the brief. The brief includes:
- Filming for continuity
- Have one deliberate camera movement
- A reaction shot
- Use at least 5 different shots and angles
The deliberate camera movement we used was a tilt from the characters feet slowly moving to reveal their face. We also had a eyeline match where the camera followed the male characters eyes to see his friend on the opposite side of the court. we successfully had five different camera shots and angles including an over the shoulder shot as well as a low angle shot of the ball flying through the air. For this task we followed the success criteria and the brief which ensured that we have had good practice for when we have a brief for our coursework. We learnt many things whilst filming and editing this sequence such as;
How to use a tripod:
- How to connect the camera to the tripod so that it is stable and steady ready to film
- How to extend the legs of the tripod to make the camera at certain heights.
- How to extend the neck part of the tripod to extend it to its maximum height.
How to film to edit:
- capturing good footage
- having our actors repeat the entire sequence in different angles to ensure we had footage of the whole sequence in different angles in preparation for editing.
How to use premier pro:
- How to cut
- How to edit the match on action, such as the handshake , smoothly.
- How to use the transitions that are already included in the programme
- How to mark in and mark out to cut a clip
Focus Forward
This task has taught me an incredible amount about the editing and filming process within the media. This task was the first time I have used any of the hardware and software involved, except for the camera itself, during this one task I have already learnt so much that I had no idea about before. This task has helped me to familiarise myself with some of the software and hardware we will be using ourselves when we come to create our own music videos.
