Krupa: Evaluation 6

When we were filming our film opening sequence, we decided upon ourselves to use a canon camera and that too with a tripod. To be honest, I wasn’t the most professionally skilled individual when it came to using the canon camera. However, I had some sort of basic camera knowledge and skills on how to use the camera to its fullest potential. This was because of the previous tasks which I had completed I used the canon camera. This benefited me in many ways. In my view point, I do strongly believe using the canon camera was a great match and camera for my opening sequence. This is because it captured the scenes with great quality, this added a touch of professionalism and made it look quite realistic. As well as the camera, using the tripod was another great idea. As it was really useful to film a range of different shots. The tripod also prevented the camera from shaking when filming which was another great bonus. I do believe that our opening sequence would have been quite hard to film without using the tripod. If I had not decided to use a tripod to film it would have resulted in most of the scenes being quite shaky making it hard to watch what is specifically happening in the scene. This would have conveyed a message of unprofessionalism. Which in my case I did not want. As it would have conveyed that we used a hand-held camera. So that our audience feel as if they are part of the scene itself. As the genre of our film opening sequence was crime drama. We as a group did not feel it was essentially necessary to use a hand-held camera.

After filming our introductory task, we used iMovie to edit the work.. In the process of using iMovie, we noticed that this software was the best for editing short clips because they do not require many effects or transitions to be added to them. IMovie was very helpful when we had to edit videos as we didn’t have to change the sound or lighting. This was our first time trying this editing software so we thought it’d be best to use it to edit the video clips since we were not familiar with many software that are used for editing.

In the process of filming, we used websites like Blogger to upload all our research and plan which we had used to help ourselves with our media product. We were all able to share ideas and help each other easily as we all uploaded our own work on our blog. We created posts to back up our media product and also to upload the answers to our evaluation questions.

Choosing many different software and websites to help me present my research and planning allowed me to present my work in many different styles and types. The different software and websites were; Prezi, PowToon, iMovie, and Microsoft office word. Trying some of the websites for the first time allowed me to learn that I can present my work in many creative ways. I knew that only using Microsoft office to present my work was not going to be as creative and effective as what you can create using Prezi or PowToon. By presenting my work creatively, it was easier for me to present my work and get my point across clearly as well. In the time I’ve spent in media, I have learnt to present my work using many different techniques to make it creative which is not only handy just for now but also for the future when I may have to present my work or design any type of presentation.

Throughout my experience in this coursework, I have learnt about many different and new technologies which are involved in the process of making the product. I feel that without some of the software, e.g. Premium Pro and iMovie, we wouldn’t have been able to complete our media product to its high standard today. The new software that we’ve used have made the process of filming and editing the product a lot easier. The software and technologies I’ve used have been a great benefit to me as I was able to try various types of websites and software which I had not been familiar with before. Learning these new skills to use new software will aid me with any piece of work that I do later on.

Marketing our Film

How can we market our film?

To market our Film, we can market it in different ways, so we will be able to gain more viewers and audiences through this. 

1) Facebook

Facebook is one of the most popular social media, which is very good for marketing and advertising our movie. This sis because there are 890 million people creating and signing into Facebook, which most of the people use Facebook daily. 

2) Twitter 

The next way to market it can be Twitter, this is because by twitting the information will spread very quickly around the world, which is not only done by the famous people, but it also can be done by the beginners and other ordinary people too.

3) Instagram

The third popular social media, which is useful for marketing is Instagram. This can be a good way too, this is because by uploading pictures, with different type of effects you can attract more audiences.

4) Snapchat

The last social media which I'm going to talk about is Snapchat. Snapchat is thelatest social media, which not mostly used by many people around the world. This because it's a lot simpler, than the other social media to use; you can share to everyone, by taking pictures, drawing, writing, emojis, by calling, video calls and also, by recording your voice. 

Camera Angles

Camera Angles

Close up 

A close up is a shot that focuses very closely on the face or an object, which sometimes the background is blurred, because to focus on the close up shot; which this gives importance to the scene or action.

Extreme Close up

An extreme close up is similar to close up, but this is more closer than the close up. By this I mean that you can only see a certain or specific part only, which is extremely close or focused. For example, a human's face is the close up and the extreme close up can be the eyes.

Panoramic Shot

A panoramic shot is a shot of couple of scenery or an environment photographs that are together, but they are taken separately, then later put them together to create a large panoramic shot. This shot is mainly used to show the overall of the scene or the setting. 

Long Shot

A long shot is when objects and people can be fit in the scene, without any editing and cutting; which this means in this scene you will be able to see not only one action, but other actions, as well. For example, you can also see the actions in the background.

Extreme Long Shot

An extreme long shot is same as the long shot, but is more in detailed. This is usually used to show the location or the setting in detail and also to show where the scene has been set in. Sometimes, they also use this shot to create pressure and tension in the scene.

Middle Shot

Middle shot is when it shows a figure from the waist and upwards, this sometimes the background is blurred and also sometimes, the backgrounds gives only a minimum of detail.

Birds eye view

Birds eye view when shows an overall of the scene, this is normally take in a very high level; which this will make the objects and people smaller, than the normal size; to create this view they use a helicopter.

High Angle Shot

A high angle shot is same as the bird eye view, but instead of the helicopter the crane is used. This is mainly used to give an effect to the audience, to show that the object or the person is powerless. 

Low Angle Shot

Low angle shots are mainly filmed near the ground level, this is mainly used to show to the audience that the person or the object has power.

Point of View 

Point of view shots are mainly taken as a view of the audience, which means it feels like an experience by the the audience. This is  a shot where you make the audience feel that they are part of the film, which this effect will make the audience be engaged with the film.

Oblique Shot

Oblique shot is when the camera angle is tilt,, which this is mainly used to confuse the audiences, and to make confusions or disruptions. This shot is mainly used in dangerous scenes, disaster scenes, scary scenes, action scenes and many other. In addition, this shot is similar to the point of view shot too, this is because the audience will feel the same experience, which means the audience feel that they are the part of the film, same as the the oblique shot. 

Over the Shoulder the Shot

The over the shoulder shot it makes the audience feel like that the person or the object is in from of them, which the person or the object it had been watched or followed by the audience. This effect is also to engage the audience in the movie.

Ethnicity

Ethnicity

Ethnicity is a way where people gets described in national or cultural traditions. Many films have shown different ethnicity in different places all around the world. However In some films ethnicity is used to show stereotype group of people to the audience by the way people have been seeing them since years. This knowledge gain from films and real life helps us identify the different ethical groups.
