Self Evaluation
What did you learn about filming and editing?
When making this video I learnt how to use a video camera and how to use it with all the different shots and angles you need to get the shot you want to achieve. When editing I found it difficult at first because you have to get all the cutting spot on to make the video look good and make sure the timing is correct. I learnt that you must overfilm each shot so you have enough of each clip to cut and improve it also you might end up needing more of a certain clip and if you have overfilmed then it makes it easier to do.
Did you find/use any premiere effects? If so, which ones and what was the effect?
We used a cartoon effect called colour emboss to make the picture look similar to the opening clip of the film. This made it more effective and therefore better to look at because it is more striking and realistic just like the actual film opening.
What went well in the filming and editing? How does it look compared with the original opening sequence?
Compared to the original clip the opening looks very similar with the effects and how it is filmed also all the angles of the camera are similar too because tried to use the exact same shots as the clip. The editing went well because we all felt confident when using the software Premiere so we all took turns when cutting and editing the clip to get it right.The only thing that wasn't the same was the sound timing because in the film they cut some of the song at the beginning.
What could have gone better with the filming and editing?
We could have found something like a table on wheels to help us get more stable shots because a couple of them are a bit jumpy and this shows in the opening scene of our clip. The filming could have gone better if we had more experience with how to do the camera shot and how long we had to film each clip for so next time we know to be more prepared.
