Camera Movements Video Evaluation

My Camera Movements Video that I filmed, to me, seemed and was a lot harder to do in some aspects of it. There was more technical sides to overcome and it did test my ability and patience to perservere creating it in difficult times and also the weather.

There is a few parts of my video that I wish I could redo and improve.

Here are some of them that I wasn't to happy with in the final edit:

-The shot where the camera focuses on the leaf then a landscape. I would have chosen much better scenery     if I had had more time to complete it.

-My overhead pan shot wasn't to the standard as it began to rain extremely heavily and I had to shoot indoors in my own house downstairs in the hallway. The lighting isn't the best quality so I would have chosen somewhere with much better lighting to avoid grainy footage.

There was also some parts that I was pleased with:

- I like the fact that the way I have edited the scenes, they run pretty smoothly.

- The camera that I used provided by the school, enabled me to complete my video and edit so that it was at    a standard where it was completed.

- The shots in school came out well considering I was limited to a choice of places to film.

- The  surroundings around the school gave me room to shoot my chase seen and it made it look slightly          more realistic.

Camera Movement Video

Here is my video where I have tried out various camera shots. The weather wasn't the best throughout the entire week so I had to make do with it! I have edited the shots to flow together. I added audio and I also added titles for each different shot just to remind me of which is which. I used transitions in my video and the beginning and ending of the video. Enjoy :-)

Editing

As I was off school ill yesterday, I started editing my Camera Movement in my free lesson today. Last week I took my shots of different camera movements with a video camera and tripod around school and my home and today I put them together. I haven't yet finished it. But this task is giving me more time to get used to the editing software.

My Shots Video

This is the final cut of the shots video me and Zoe filmed. This task was to show our understanding of different shots and angles and to help us learn some of the terminology. It's gave me practice on how to edit and take various shots. We gave the video a slight story, to again, make it more interesting. I also added music to create an atmosphere. This is the first task we have been set and has given me a much better understanding of the different types of camera shots that can be used when filming.

Getting the hang of it

Today I finally began editing my shots video. I started it the other day but due to technical problems, i had to use the network to copy my images and it resulted in an extremely long wait! But I have now chosen the clips and put them together. This is helping me get the hang of the editing software.

First shoot

On Friday me and Zoe went out and shot various camera angles around the school. I was used as the character. These short clips we have taken, I am in the process of editing into a short film. We created a vague story line to make it a little more interesting by making out my character was getting stalked. This was so that our choice of music would enhance it.

My first video

I decided to make up a little story to go with my first clip. I took my mam and decided to show how much housework she has to do and how shes basically sick of it! I know it is much longer but I felt that the clips I had taken all fit perfectly with the song choice. I used Windows Movie Maker to edit my video.
