8-Shot Journey & Evaluation.


My journey is made up of a student appearing to have come out of class, using the lift, and then travelling across the Atrium until reaching the Learning Curve. I used a mix of close ups, mid-shots and long shots to add range to the sequence. I also used a high angled shot to emphasise the way in which my subject doesn't look happy with having to go the library. I then put these shots onto a storyboard to help me during the filming process.

Before going out to film, I had to stripe my tape to prevent me from accidentally recording over footage in the future. I then went on location to start to record my shots. I was happy with how filming went as Victoria, who I was paired up with on the project, was easy to work with and helpful. However, as I filmed the majority of the sequence in the college during the day, it was extremely busy and people kept purposely jumping in front of the camera. When I had gathered all of my footage I then used Adobe Final Cut Pro to edit my sequence. ‘Set in’ and ‘set out’ points had to be put into place which divided up my footage into clips, making it easier to put together.

Overall, bearing in mind this was my first Video Production assessment, I think it was a reasonably good attempt. However I think that the editing isn't as smooth as it could be, and shots could flow better, therefore in future projects I will focus on this aspect more.
