Reflection - Software troubles ( week 5 )

This week I used a software called premiere pro , it was a software that I am very familiar with it had all the effects and transitions I needed to use for my short film the reason I decided to use it again is because it was the software I trusted the most to use and I know I would be able to use it correctly , the only thing I had trouble doing is creating a suitable title for my short film , I just ended up typing it with the font , I could of really used aftereffects to make a better title . Another thing that was actually quite challenging was getting the audio in time with the footage because I recorded some on the microphone and some on the camera audio so that was very hard because some of the audio wasn't there and like I said in a previous reflection that I had to record certain things again because it just wasn't working . On premiere pro you always have to make sure your work is saved otherwise it will play up have to start again the thing that happened with me...

Reflection - Case study ( Week 2 )

This week I did my case study based on all the contextual research I did , my case studies were generally about the short films I thought would help me make my own , they were of quite professional standard , my case studies were easy to evaluate because I broke it down into different components such as editing , camera work , movement , mise en scene. I ended up doing tow case studies one was about a short film called Drawn out and the other was about audience research , the reason I did these particular case studies is because I thought it would help me know how to create my own project with a little inspiration from the case study , I just general based my case studies off of my contextual research and from there I knew exactly what I was writing about . The reason I wrote a case study about audiences is because I wanted to know which audience I was targeting for my short film , the outcome was that majority of short film were targeted at a niche audience sue to t...

Evaulation (On Everything ) 23rd May

My final project is called The life behind the mask its a short film about gang violence and knife crime , this was overall created by many things which includes case studies , contextual research , audience responses and technical skills , it was produced within a space of 9 weeks of intense hard work starting from it first being a simple idea from my mind to it turning into a 5 minute short film , everything that I have produced has played a huge part in me creating such a intense project , I never thought it would be finished due to how bad I am with timing . 1. The effectiveness of your research ( Contextual , audience and production) The contextual research I did was quite effective because I literally researched and referenced everything , that I believed I needed , in terms of effectiveness my contextual research played a huge factor in me making this short film because like I said in one of previous reflections , I only had a bit of general knowledg...

Reflection - On final Project

Overall I think my final project went really well because I managed to produce a fairly good short film , I only wish it looked better because personally I think I could of done much in better in terms of how it overall turned I believe that I rushed it in terms of shots angles and framing , I just took on too many roles but because I was by myself I think its ok , but I wish I had a better production plan , the editing for the short film could of been done much better in terms of transitions and structuring , instead of it looking like it constantly skipping I wanted it to flow like other films do , This project in comparison to the other projects that I have produced this was defiantly some of my best work , but because this was my first short film so I wanted my vision to bought to life but I don't think I did that because I don't think I put enough effort into this project , I was too focused on other things I should of spent way more time completing th...
