I enjoyed learning how to use the
software and the process of shooting in different locations.
- What have you learnt?
I learnt the basics of Premiere Pro and how to
change the white balance on a camera. On premier pro I used the razor blade
tool to cut parts of the video on the timeline. I also found out that you can
use mark in and out tools on the video clip before it was placed on the
timeline. To find the white balance on a camera you need to use a white sheet
of paper. I had to place the sheet of paper in front of the camera while I
tested the different white balance settings.
- What were the major challenges?
Making sure that the video and the audio was in
time. It was hard taking the right parts out of a clip so that it would match
the audio and flow with the rest of the video. Also it was hard shooting in
some places it's came up washed out on the camera.
- What do you think the major challenges
will be for your main project?
I think that a major challenge would be editing a
full length video. This video was only 30 seconds but it took a long time
getting everything right and I think that a full length video will be hard
work. I think that choosing a song and then coming up with a suitable video
idea will be difficult. Some ideas that we come up with might not work out and
it will waste our time.
- Planning
We did not have much time to plan the video so
elements such as mise en scene and location were not great. In my group we
planned everything together and did not separate tasks because there wasn’t a
lot of things to do.
- Camera
4 of our shots were a medium shot. We did this
because it was quick and easy. For 1 of our shots we did a long shot so that you
could see the actor’s full body. We didn’t do any panning camera shots or
different angles because we didn’t plan to have different shot and there wasn’t
a lot of time. In my real video I would like to include a range of my shots. For example, close ups, high/low angle shots and use the shots we used in this practice video.
My group have chosen
the “one dance” by Drake. We will only lip synch the chorus:
That's why I
need a one dance Got a Hennessy
in my hand One more time
'fore I go Higher powers
taking a hold on me I need a one
dance Got a Hennessy
in my hand One more time
'fore I go Higher powers
taking a hold on me
We have
decided on 5 locations: - Against an
orange wall - Against a
white wall - Against the
lockers - In the
middle of a corridor - Against the
wall with writing on it
