At the beginning of the project, I was very unaware of how to use certain pieces of equipment and software and what a huge significance they played in the making of a film in both production and post-production. In our prelim exercise I learned how to use the camera on a tripod and briefly explored some of the tools on the Adobe Premier Pro software. However, in our main task, I gained a stronger understanding of how the tripod is made to allow for different camera angles and movement, as well as delving deeper into the Adobe software in order to find the effects and editing techniques that worked best for our sequence. Below is a longer list of some of the things I learned.
Production:
- How to work the camera, setting up and using equipment such as a tripod and shotgun microphone
- Reviewing shots in the camera to ensure we had the right one which we could use
- How to set up lighting, flooding it or making a spotlight on specific characters (as well as learning about the health and safety involved when using it, as the lights get really hot)
Post-production:
- How to use the Adobe software to a high standard and incorporating video and audio effects (ghosting and dissolves)
- Editing the continuity sequence to perfection so that the story line flows and makes sense to the audience
- How to use LiveType and experimenting with different fonts, sizes, effects and colours to produce titles that best fitted our genre and theme
