Evaluation

Looking back at the preliminary task, what do you think you have learnt from the progression from it to the full task?

From filming the preliminary task we learnt the basics of using the cameras, for example achieving different shot types such as high angle and establishing, and using the tripod when needed. We also learnt from the preliminary how to come up with ideas of which shots to use in a sequence, to make it run smoothly and look professional.

When we first used the final cut pro software to edit our footage from the preliminary task, we found when putting two separate shots together, in order for it to be a smooth cut, everything in both shots needs to match up and be in exactly the same position. We remembered this when filming our main task.

When using the editing software at first, we were unsure about how to use it to create the type of look we wanted. For example, with different transitions and fonts for the titles. To overcome this we watched tutorial clips on youtube about how to use final cut pro, this helped us a lot.

This is one of the tutorials we used, to help us add and change the style of text:
