Preliminary Task evaluation

My Power point stopped working so i had to do it like this :)

As my group only consisted of two members, myself and Josh. i feel we worked together very well, i feel this way because we managed to meet all of our deadlines and have our worked completed to a good standard. also we worked well as we discussed each others different view points of what we thought and finally agreed creating a general idea of what our Preliminary task would look like. all the work we did before hand helped a lot in the final making of the task as we referred back to them often for help. i feel we could have got a few more clips when filming so that when we edited them together there was a better flow other than that i feel we did well together.

For filming we used and Ipad. this was convenient as it is very movable as it is a handheld device also the image that came from it was clear and easy to capture filming. also it was easy to change through each clip easily on to another one and access them on the Macs. A downfall of the ipads was that it did not focus the sound on one point and in some clips background noise was picked up and interfered with the clip.

For future films i would rather use another type of recording device preferably one with a tripod as it would keep the image still and not shaky making it look neater. also i would consider locations more as ours was not the best choice for our scenario.

We used a software on the Macs called iMovie as it is a very good software that makes editing quite easy and quick. also iMovie allows users to trim, add music, credits, sound effects and more which makes it much more better for the final movie. Using iMovie i feel made the film flow a lot better than other softwares such as windows movie maker.

I feel we did meet the criteria set for the task. I feel this way because we used a variety of camera shots and movements to help the movie look better. Also another reason is because we completed all work set at the correct time and i feel to a good standard.

From the Preliminary task i have learnt a lot of different ways in which movies are made, for example all of the different camera shot and movements also i learnt more about location planning and what the character has to look like for them to fit in with the scenario. i also learnt how to use a Mac and all of the software on it such as Garageband and iMovie. i feel all of this will help me in the future as it will make it a lot easier for me to do other tasks having this knowledge.
