1. Task 7
Over all in this task I felt a lot more confidant when taking shots and editing to the
final version. I felt before I started this task I had learnt a lot more in the technical
side I had gained a lot more experience as we had done two of these tasks where we
used the cameras and then had to edit on Final Cut Pro, which gave the experience.
When looking back at my Prelim task of recreating Arlington Road I can see that
some of the techniques and editing I have used has improved and I have also carried
on using some of the same improved techniques in my most resent task as the shots
and editing used goes well with what we did, now as I am now more experienced in
getting the right shots such as 180 degree rule, match on action and shot/reverse shot.
We played around with more types of
shots such as Floor shots and Wall
angles and High angles and Low
angles, compared to the Arlington
Road task where there are simple cut
behind the shoulder shots and 180’s
and other random shots we though
looked good. The continuity, match
on action, and general had been
improved.
As you can see in the first image is a
screenshot of the Arlington Road task
where we had a shot with the cabin
and the title in the background you
can see the perfectly good shot which
we still used a type of shot in the
opening sequence. We learned to
keep it more professional such as to
keep the Titles consistent and in the
right place for example as they are
more commonly seen at the bottom of the screen and it looking more professional.
In comparison I think that the Opening Sequence we have created is much better and
more professional than the Arlington Road Prelim that we created a couple months
back. The Opening sequence is a lot cleaner and uses fewer effects which does not
over kill the production/ Opening Sequence we used just the right amount of effects
which made the Sequence feel like a thriller and chilling, which was our aim. We
were also a lot more experienced in the creative side of the Sequence.
