Evaluation Activity 7- What have you learnt during the whole progress.

Looking back at your Preliminary Task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product.

In my Preliminary Task I used a few camera shots but now I know how to use all the camera shots that there are. Also in my Preliminary Task we used costume but we didn't wear the same clothes all the way through the film now we know for Mise en scene to work you have to wear the same clothes all the way through the film. also in my preliminary task the camerawork was dodgy as the shots were taken weren't straight but we now have used the camera properly as the shots are straight.

What I feel I have learnt from the process can be split into 3 parts: Mise en Scene, editing and camerawork.

Mise en Scene

For Mise en Scene I have learnt what clothes are worn in films and how that fits the genre and the characters in the film. I have also learnt about how body language can be presented in a film and this relates to the genre of the film. I have also learnt how the position of characters in films can relate to the genre of the film. I have also learnt that for mise en scene to work the characters in the film have to wear the same clothes all the way through the film.  I have also learnt that you have to wear costumes that fit your character in the film that you are making.

Editing

For Editing I have learnt how to delete parts of films when your editing them on Adobe Premiere Pro. I have also learnt how you add titles and credits to your film when editing it on Abode Premiere Pro as I didn't know how to these things when I was editing my preliminary task. For editing I have learnt how to move parts of a film to either edit them or shorten the length of that clip. For editing I have also learnt how to export films from Abode Premiere Pro to Windows Media Player. For editing I have also learnt how to export films from Abode Premiere Pro to Windows Movie Maker. I have also learnt how to add titles and cuts to films in Abode Premiere Pro. I have also learnt how to add special effects to your film on Abode Premiere Pro when your editing it. I have also learnt how change a film from colour to black and white when editing it on Abode Premiere Pro.

Camerawork

For Camerawork I have learnt all the shots that are used to make and record movies because when we did the premliminary task I only knew about a close up shot and long shot whereas now I know mid shot, extreme close up, high angle shot, low angle shot, shot reverse shot, point of view shot and aerial shot. the types of shots that I have learnt that are contious is called tracking and panning. We used a shot reverse shot for when it goes between Dalian and the attacker. so we see Dalian walking up the alley then we go to David standing behind him then we go back to Dalian who is standing infront of him.  I have also learnt what Match on action this is where the camera shot reflects what is happening in the film. We used Match on action in our film for when we filmed The Scene where Dalian is being tortured by the Doctor as we took shots of him being hit with a gun as this was happening in the film. I have also learnt how to go to one scene to another by cutting or fading the next scene in. I have also learnt what the 180 degree rule is which is the rule that means that all the actors and actresses in films have to stand on the same side of the room there filming in so they can be seen in the camera and by the audience that is watching them. We used the 180 degree rule in the shot where the main character is looking at a gravestone in the cementary. I have also learnt how to hold the camera steady so the shots you take are straight.
