During this activity I have learnt how to appropriately use music effectively in a sequence this would be for example how to create tension. I found that learning this essential to a video as it helps to keep the audience intrigued whether then having music that does not fit correctly because if the music does not fit with the sequence it can make the whole scene bad. I also learnt that camera angles and shots are essential to scenes, as I found that a scene could not be fully appreciated if the camera work is not done properly, for example in my filming we found that some of our shots were blurred and not fully focused bringing down our scenes. I also learnt how to plan a media production more efficiently such as knowing what we are capable of filming and what we are not, this meaning we did not have the time to film a detailed scene. So for next time after having a practise I will be able to know before if it is out of our reach or not. What skills have I developed? I have developed a keen eye for camera shots. Some of our shots can be improved, such as knowing when it is appropriate for certain shots, this would be such as when to use a hand held shot or just stay with the tripod, this was one of our improvements to work on in the future. I have developed a further skill in editing as in this prelim I was able to experiment with the music and cuts which will help when it comes to the real thing. Feedback We received a mixture of what went wells and what to improve on. For our filming itself we were told that our camera shots used were very imaginative and flowed well with the filming in most cases however there were some falters. Our lighting could have been improved as at one stage the actor could not be seen properly and therefore ruined a scene but apart from that suited. Unfortunately, we were cut short for time and were not able to re shoot scenes and therefore left us with a poor composition because there is lots of dialogue in the background which was unplanned. Our location was good as it sets the scene properly and you can tell what the production is about by the setting. We were told the pace of our film was fast paced and keeps the audience engaged, we used edits such as fades when it comes to the end but some of our cuts did not fully follow and which made the sound not flow correctly at certain times. Our use of music flowed well as it added the tension to the scene which could not have been achieved without it.
Improving prelim task
I would plan my production a little better as I found we had to go away from the script and shot list slightly. I would also put more time into my shots, by doing this it would perfect the focus and i would be able to see what looked right and wrong. In our video I found some shots were not great but we didn't have any alternative, so we had to settle for a poor shot but we didnt have any time to re-take them. By having multiple shots for the same scene it would allow us to look through properly and establish which ones the best therefore giving us a better scene. In summary if i were to do this again i would space my time out as mcuh as possible which would mean planning better and therefore giving me a better overall video.
