Evaluation Activity 7

When comparing my Preliminary task to my final opening 2 minutes of my film i can see a huge improvement between the two. 

I have been able to look at the difference that is made by using a higher quality camera such as a 1080p. Where as the camera that i used within my preliminary task was a camera that i borrowed from school which had a poor quality camera and also a poor quality microphone. 

Also, i have learnt how to insert titles into my videos which make it look more professional and also give my audience some indication as to what they are watching if they were not aware. I will now always make sure that i include titles within all of my videos and films that i make as i can clearly see the difference that it has made to my content.

My editing has also improved from my original preliminary task editing. instead of cutting like i did within my preliminary task, my opening 2 minutes has a nice flow between shots so its is more realistic and the audience feel like they are being taken with the character instead of just being behind the camera. This allows the audience to feel like they are involved in the video and allows them to relate to the content more.

Also, from looking back at my preliminary task it has shown my the importance of using the right shot and angle when filming to give off a certain effect. For example i am not going to use a close up of something such as a flower if it has nothing to do with the content of my video. I will instead use a close up to show facial expressions, a medium shot to show body language and a low angle shot to show power.

Overall i believe that these two videos are just some of the evidence of the progress that i have made this year and has shown me that at the beginning of next year i should also create several videos within my work to show a journey.
