The Chase

 - In this video I helped Abdul with the filming

Improvement: 

- I believe the film needed some music/sounds because there are too many silences and sudden background noises. So I think some fast, comic music during the chase would have suited the clip as it was meant be humorous.

- I also think some more use of effect would have made the clip funnier. Maybe have the chase scene in different pace [slow motion, fast pace etc].

Quiet Task

- In this video I done the camera work and helped with the editing

Improvements:

- Looking back at the video I think some intense music in the ‘interrogation’ should have been added and dramatic music when he gets locked up. I also think the background noises should have been deleted as it stops the entire 'suspense' mood.

What I Learned:

- When editing this clip i had some difficulty with one of the transitions; the clip before it [close-up of the eyes] was too short so the transition would not work. To solve this I created a freeze frame of the clip and make length of the frame longer to fit the transition timings. This problem taught me to make sure clips are quite long just to ensure that transitions can work around them, this will save time.

One Perspective

- In this video I helped with creating the story board and helped with editing

Improvements:

- Make sure when you stop mid-way during a scene to make sure you start at the exact same positioning, this will then help make editing easier.

What I Learned:

- While editing I learnt how to extract sounds from the original clip and also learned how to upload music from an external source.

- I learnt how to get revert a trimmed clip back to its original length

- I also learned that when filming if you stop mid-way it is essential that you ensure you begin from the exact same place you stopped at because we had difficulty when editing to put the clips together and make the whole scene run smoothly.

The Test

I helped create the storyboard in this clip.

Improvements:

- Ensure camera is lined up with background [lined up]

- Cut out background noise and add sound effects [music that builds up tension]

- When there’s a close up of their faces make sure the camera is still and not shaking.

What I Learned:

- When filming ensure that the camera is straight [line up camera with surroundings to make sure, i.e. door, window]

- When filming i learned that the storyboard we made was too brief, it needed more detail and annotations, this resulted in us spending too much time trying to figure out what shot to film next.
