Preliminary task - evaluation
- 1. Prelim Task - Evaluation Overall, I found storyboarding quitedifficult because I am not the best at ART and I found it hard to figure out how it is going to look like. I also found it hard to map out what I was actually thinking when it came to storyboarding. I think that my scripting was good becausemost of the words on my scriptwere actually said in the film opening. I think that filming went well becauseI never had to re-do any of the shots and when I finished editing it, it displayed good continuity throughout. The only small thing that went wrong is during the opening, there is a little glitch where it does an extra cut which I was unable to fix as I didn’t know whathappened. Whilst filming, I think that the sound was a good volumewith not a lot of background noiseand the acting is good as well. I found that editing was reasonably easy becausewhen it came to putting all the clips together, I found it quite simple and when I re-watched it, it looked like it all fitted together reasonably well. Through doing the editing for my Preliminary Task, I learnt how to edit clips because before we started doing the Prelim Task, I’d never done editing beforeso that was one of the thing that I learnt. If I could repeat it again, I would definitely make surethat the lighting is good enough so you can clearly see what’s happening. This is because I decided to turn off the lights whilst filming my Prelim Task to give it a quite spooky effectto fit in with the film title of ‘Shadow Man’. When it came to watching it, it looked a bit too dark and at one partwhen Joey was meant to be bringing out what was meant to be a fake gun, you couldn’t really see it very well. Also, I would add a few more sound effects so it would look more professionalbecausethe only sound effect that I used was footsteps when Nathan was walking down the corridor, as the camera was focusing on his shoes. Overall, I really enjoyed working on my Preliminary Task.
