Explain The Task.
The task was to work in a small team to create a 1 minute video product, with a working title of ‘Growing Up I loved…’
Describe how you came up with your idea.
I thought carefully about the things I loved when I was younger, the obvious choice was Barbie, but as Sophie had already decided to do that, I chose trolls. This was because I had collected them from a young age & it wouldn’t be a problem to get hold of them because I still had quite a few at home.
Describe how you planned your project.
I planned my project by thinking of ideas about what I wanted to happen in my video & then writing those ideas onto paper. After I had done that, I filled in a shot list so I had a general idea of what shots I wanted where.
Explain what you learnt about using cameras and tripods.
I learnt things like using angles & instead of using zoom, going in close to get better shots. I also learnt that it’s imperative to use a tripod, for steady filming.
Explain what you learnt about editing using Final Cut Pro.
I learnt a lot about editing from Final Cut Pro, as I had never done anything like that before… I learnt how to cut unneeded bits out of my video, how to arrange my shots on a timeline, how to make credits, how to use transitions & how to put music onto my movie.
Explain about uploading the finished project to your blog & creating a DVD of it.
I made the movie into a MOV file & then reduced its size & changed it to a FLV file using Adobe Flash Video Encoder before uploading it to my blog. I then used Idvd to burn my movie onto a DVD.
Evaluate the product, saying what you think works well & what you think doesn’t work so well.
I think the troll animation & the music work well, though I think I could’ve picked a better place to shoot it. I think my talking could’ve been better had I planned the interview more, I felt that I wasn’t really paying attention as I spoke.
Sum up what the main learning experience has been for you.
I think everything has really been the main learning experience for me as I’ve never done anything like this before, such as using a camera to make my own video, editing that video to make it exactly how I wanted it to be & uploading it to my own blog.
