I began filming my original idea but had to change it due to time constraints and actor availability. My new simpler idea involved filming an actor slowly breaking into a smile. However, the video didn't record properly and was pitch black. On another day, I filmed additional clips but the camera had focusing issues. My SD card ran out of storage so I had to stop shooting and begin editing to free up space. On the final day of shooting, I got additional photos and clips and planned to edit them together to create a smooth video showing an extended smile throughout.

Prelim evaluation
Originally, the filmmaker planned to create a hostage situation set in a car, but later changed the script to be about a businesswoman holding her sister hostage. While filming, the filmmaker focused on incorporating shots like shot reverse shot and match on action shots. The biggest challenge was following the 180 degree rule, which caused some confusion at the end. Overall, the filmmaker was pleased with the filming and editing skills improved since their last media project, but would spend more time ensuring the 180 degree rule was followed properly for clarity if redoing the project.
Evaluation
The document provides an evaluation of an advertisement created by the author to promote t-shirt designs. The ad aims to have a similar style to an existing brand by using image slideshows set to dance music, but makes it unique by animating shirt changes through stop-motion editing. Feedback suggested including more images to depict swirling movement rather than cut transitions, but that would have significantly increased the production time and difficulty without a tripod. Overall, the ad aims to showcase the shirt designs through dramatic imagery and fast-paced music editing without explicitly telling viewers what to do, letting them decide if they like the products.

Evaluation of film opening
Our film opening represents a group of teenagers to portray innocence before violence occurs. We used teenagers to challenge horror film tropes and create something different. The film starts the group in a safe location that will gradually become unsafe, leaving a victim alone and harmed. Horror appeals broadly but especially to teenagers and young adults as a way to metaphorically face real-life fears. We used Final Cut Pro software to edit footage, lighting, titles and pacing. GarageBand allowed us to add voiceovers, music and sound effects to enhance the quality. Learning from prior tasks helped us include different shot types and illustrate necessary elements in our opening.

PROBLEM SOLVING for FMP
The document discusses potential technical and theoretical problems that could affect Millie Southall's film production and ways to control or mitigate those problems. Some key technical problems addressed include equipment malfunctions, software or computer issues, limited storage or WiFi access. Mitigation strategies involve testing equipment, backing up work, and having backup devices or storage. Theoretical problems may include cast members not showing up, bad weather, an uncooperative animal subject, injuries during filming, or poor time management. Millie plans to address these through advance scheduling and organization, checking weather, using treats to work with her animal, having contingency plans for injuries or rescheduling as needed, and using a planner. The document also describes experiments Millie conducted with lighting,
Presentation for media night#
The document discusses Kelly Hunt's process for creating a music video assignment. It describes choosing an unfamiliar song, "You Make Me Wanna Die" by The Pretty Reckless, brainstorming style and theme ideas, and planning the shoot. Filming was fun since everything was planned out. Editing took the most time and effort, involving syncing footage, shots, and lip syncing to the song lyrics. The document thanks others who helped, including Emily Goodwin who starred and hosted filming, and Charlotte Jobling and Tom McLaughlin who also contributed footage.
Question 7
The filmmaker learned several lessons from their preliminary task to the full film opening. They ensured costumes remained consistent by filming all scenes in one day. They also learned to maintain consistent lighting across clips by using the same camera settings. Their shot types improved from relying heavily on shot-reverse shot, to using shots more effectively to build suspense such as during a walk. They also learned to use adult actors who were more focused and efficient during filming. Areas they would improve include adding more dialogue, such as during the walk, and changing the ending to make it scarier by having the baby kidnapped instead of the man being killed.
PROBLEM SOLVING.pptx
The document discusses various potential problems that could arise during the production of a film project and proposed solutions. It addresses theoretical problems like cast members not showing up for filming and solutions like scheduling well in advance and having backup dates. It also covers technical problems such lighting issues when filming outdoors and solutions like shooting during daylight hours or editing color in post-production. The document details experiments conducted to test different lighting techniques, both with physical lights and digital editing. It found that while colored lighting worked well in photos, it did not translate well to video recordings. Overall, the document considers issues that could disrupt production and strategies for mitigating risks through contingency planning and experiments.
Setting
The document discusses what the author learned from their preliminary task to their final product. For their preliminary task, the author used a classroom setting without considering other options, casual costumes without focusing on genre, and inexperienced actors which affected quality. They also relied on natural lighting and used simple shot types. For their final product, an adventure film, the author chose settings, costumes, experienced actors, lighting, and varied shot types that suited the genre conventions. The author also improved their script layout and storyboard clarity based on research.
Evaluation Question 7
In their preliminary exercise, the group filmed a simple conversation between two people seated at a table using shot-reverse shot techniques and the 180-degree rule. Their full film was more technically complex, incorporating close-ups, match cuts, eye line matches, and non-diegetic music. Going from the preliminary to the full film, the group massively improved their filming and editing skills, taking more risks with techniques for their film and including freeze frames and dissolves for better scene transitions.
production reflection
Kieran Beal reflects on the production process of their film. They drew inspiration from TV shows and video games to develop the concept. Locating a filming location proved difficult initially due to renovations but they were eventually able to book a location. During filming, a door closing interrupted a planned camera shot, and many shots ended up shaky due to not having access to a steady cam. Editing challenges included creating a cloning effect in After Effects and addressing discontinuities and generic sound effects. Finding actors within the filming schedule windows was difficult and hot weather during filming took a physical toll. Not having all intended equipment due to late booking also contributed to issues.
Reflections
Day 1: The filmmaker worked on experiments for effects, including overlaying video on an old TV and adding lens flares. The challenge was fitting masks properly on the TV screen.
Days 2-3: Footage was edited to look like it was filmed at night instead of during the day for alternatives.
Day 4: All footage was transferred to the computer and lined up to the music to streamline editing.
Day 5: A film border was added around the video by drawing and feathering a mask. Freeze frames for titles were attempted but dropped.
Day 6: Original filmed ideas were disliked so scenes were replanned to connect stages of grief without a linear story.

Each group member took on different roles like operating the camera, being the main actress, or the second actress. The document then explains how they implemented these techniques and what they learned about using digital cameras and Adobe Premiere to film and edit the scene together. It concludes by discussing the strengths and weaknesses of their preliminary task work.
Question 7 media evaluation draft
The author learned several lessons from completing a full media project compared to an earlier preliminary task. For the full project, they struggled with actor casting and securing costumes due to last-minute changes, and dealt with loud background noise and faulty audio equipment during filming. The author also learned how to use Final Cut and Final Motion software, though editing in Final Cut proved challenging. Overall, the preliminary task did not require as much planning as the full media project and the author was surprised by all the planning and detail needed for the larger task.
Question 7
1) For the preliminary task, the filmmakers cast friends with little preparation and were more focused on camera angles than acting quality. They learned the importance of proper casting and preparation.
2) For the full film, they cast one consistent actor and planned locations, shots, and storyboards extensively in advance, leading to a more polished final product.
3) Techniques like shot reverse shot, the 180 degree rule, and match on action editing were attempted more in the full film than the preliminary task, showcasing improved filmmaking skills.
FMP production reflection
Kieran Beal reflects on the production process of his film. He drew inspiration from shows like Black Mirror and Sherlock Holmes and the video game We Happy Few. Initially he created mood boards but found they were not very helpful. He chose to use a Guy Fawkes mask for the antagonist to represent fear of the unknown. Some shots in the film were shaky due to lack of a steady cam. Editing in Premiere Pro presented challenges like a lack of continuity between shots due to unusable footage. A cloning effect in After Effects did not turn out perfectly. Sound editing was also an issue, with some generic suspense music detracting rather than adding to the film. Overall it was a learning experience
