First Video on youtube

Having a video on youtube makes my video feel a lot more proffensional as it will be seen by people who are not i my class, this also enables people to comment on my work, this provides an in-biased critisism for me, this will truly help me improve in the future.

Also I think that it being on youtube will bring my work to the masses, which is what i think filming is all about.

Evaluation of the preliminary task

Evaluation

Cinematography- I think that we used different shot types very effectively, the use of the low shot combined with various long shots made a lot of variety in the film. Also we took into account that continuity would have to be used when putting the shots in order, we made sure that the shots looked like they fitted together very smoothly, to make sure that the film flowed properly.


Sound- most of the sound we used was diegetic, this means that the sound was present in the actual film, this is usually dialogue. Most of the sound we had was dialogue (apart from various opening and closing doors) this meant that the sound was very personal as it was a conversation that rivetted the viewer as it was the only sound present. Also the fact that the conversation was left on a cliffhanger made the viewer even more involved in it.

Mise-en-scene- the piece on a wholewas a very natural one (as in this is an everyday occurance) this meant that the viewer could relate to the film a lot more as they know that this could happen to them, increasing the interest. In this respect the film is very effective as it makes the audience more absorbed in the film.
Continuity editing- we used the 180 degree rule in order to keep the conversations filmed realistic, this meant that you have to stay on one side of the conversation, meaning that the people are on the right side of the frame. Changing this confuses the viewer as it appears they have swapped sides in the frame.

Induction EBI

-the "push a little button" activity was an area i could of worked on in that i did not import properly and the voice overs at the end were not done very well.

-also if photoshop had been used in the induction i feel it could have been more interesting as it would have made the programmes used more varied. Also it would have helped those who have never used photoshop to understand it, and therefor better prepare them for the course.

Induction WWW

-my favourate activity was the remaking of the "push a little button advert"

-this is because it allowed me to experement with diffrent camera angles and shot types, this allowed me to be very creative in my work, which made it good for me.

-i also enjoyed doing the jobsite advert, due to the fact that it also had a varied use of the camera in it.
