- 1. Personal Skills Audit Name:Meghan Darby Skills acquired Digital technology - What equipment/software packages did you use to produce your production? Post production - What software did you use to create your production? - Discuss specific features of the software. - Sony Camera Garageband iMovie Photoshop The software we used in order to create our production was iMovie, the features were very limited in comparison to Final Cut, we didn’t realize this until we were far through the editing and production of our film. How did these skills contribute to the creation of your product? These allowed me to produce different media material such as, sound effects, the production logo and the actual film recording itself. iMovie allowed us to edit our film so that we could change the visual effects (black & white) and sound effects this contributing to our film massively since we didn’t use any dialogue. How will you develop these skills during the A2 project? I plan to develop in A2 by using these skills also using Final Cut. Especially since in our project we have to produce a digi-pack which can be created using Photoshop, and the music video itself being created, and manipulated using Final Cut by adding effects to the green screen if used within our project. I personally will develop these skills by making my next project on Final Cut, and then I can develop my work, experiment with my filming and production and come out with a better product than I did in the previous year.
- 2. Research and Planning -What tasks did you complete when preparing to film your sequence? - How did your planning help the smooth progression of your film? Using conventions of real media texts - Which texts did you analyze? - Did you take any inspiration from the conventions found from your research? Creativity - were our ideas for your portfolio imaginative and unique or did you adhere to conventions? We completed several tasks within our research and preparing our film, this including: The history, the style, the institution of our film and who our audience will be. This gave an outlook on what type of film we wanted to make and how to make it. Productively analyzing certain texts such as, trailers, music within films and audience research. We took on board many inspirations in order to create a final product, which worked well with the genre. The planning allowed us to explore and add to ideas, this helping very much towards the production of our film, this including storyboards and how we wanted to shoot the film and what shots would work best for our production of the film. I will develop these skills by increasing the depth of research in order to create our A2 Project, planning is also key to how we can produce the music video and make it look the best, and relevant to the genre. The use of texts and critical analysis provided us with a inspiration as to how we could produce our media product. What we could use within the product to please the target audience, the use of representation, mise en scene, camera angels and sound. In my A2 project I will use these skills to my advantage. Using research and analyze to know what we will include in our music video, advert and digipak and what will not work as well, in able to produce a above average performance within our video and how to convey it productively. We looked towards other films, analyzing and researching what is conventional and similar and what isn’t. We used the skills to our advantage to create a product which is unique but stays conventional to the genre. In my A2 project I hope I will add to these skills, and use more imagination to put towards a visual product. We hope to convey conventions in our final product, however adding a unique feel towards it.
