With a digital video camera you are able to film anything of your choice interior or exterior to produce any recording or a film or music video for all types of genres. Throughout my experience of filming so far I have gained a few recording techniques including various types of software I can extend the sound or slow it down or speed it up depending on the video footage and what is to be done.
Digetic and non digetic sound can be faded into one another to create a smooth change over in sound. An example of a piece of software I have used is Final cut express through using this I developed several skills including; importing certain parts of the recorded footage and watching frame by frame and how you are able to watch videos simultaneously that can be edited and viewed at the same time.
I have learnt how to capture a video from the camera and experimented with footage and the effects Final cut had to offer and enhanced the general quality of the video. During the production of our thriller opening we used a digital camera to photograph actors/actresses and locations etc. and preparation before our filming we documented and took any pictures needed with a digital camera.
Throughout the tasks I have been given I have developed and enhanced my production skills; I have mainly learnt how to be more creative using the camera and make use of all available equipment; using different camera shots and angles and using the software to edit the final footage and the many effects we can use to enhance the final product.
Using the software an advantage was there were a range of effects we could use to add to the footage to improve quality and the storyline I was able to experiment with all these effects and if a certain part I wasn’t happy with and it wasn’t right you can soon undo and take the effect out. A disadvantage of using the software was trying to get the timings of putting together the visuals and sounds together they had to be spot on using the timeline provided and also capturing the footage was difficult at times too.
At AS I think we were creative in some aspects; we used a range of different shots and some effects were added to the footage but I think we could have been a bit more creative. I feel our script was creative and we really considered and discussed as a group our task and thriller opening.
During the research and planning of our thriller opening we firstly used primary research we watched other thriller openings looking at the style and the footage in detail and secondary research using the internet I researched a few companies that produced thriller films.
If we were to do this task again I would improve choosing the actors/actresses more carefully as this was a problem we encountered during filming and try to be more organised with our planning e.g. exact dates of filming and getting the documentation all completed ready to move on to the next stage.
I used the internet to research companies producing thrillers and watching examples of thrillers on You tube gaining ideas and styles of thriller films. During the editing of our footage we tried to use as many of our free lessons and spare time to get as much editing done as possible in a short space of time so if there were problems or adjustments we had time to edit them and move on.
The techniques we used in our footage were basic which included different transitions between shots; cut, fade and dissolve from one shot to the next and adding titles and credits in with effects on the writing e.g. scrolling up the screen.
My evaluation I embedded the video onto my blog and then uploaded my presentation of my evaluation onto Slide Share then placing the link onto my blog, I feel to improve my evaluation and make it stronger I can include more pictures and evidence to back my points up making my case stronger. We researched conventions of a thriller film then looking at what we had researched and then included some of the conventions in the script to make it known to the audience it was a thriller film, conventions included; blood and gore, screaming scenes with low lighting at points and tense music building suspense. When filming we tried to include as many as the conventions as possible to make it a very good thriller opening.
