Evaluation

I have learnt how to handle a camera when filming trailers. I have learnt where to place actors to fully replicate or film a scene effectively to delight the audience. I have learnt to edit properly by cutting shots adding sountracks etc. I have learnt how to shoot on time with a shotting schedule that says what  shots we have done already and what we need to do.I have learnt about picking location that matches the scene, props that suit the narrative. Overall, to evaluate I think I have done pretty well with what I got.

Our Trailer + Original Trailer Comparison

The difference between the original trailer and our trailer is mainly the budget. As the real movie has a bigger budget and can use more effects and better quality of trailer than we can. They also have real locations to use, but we have very limited resources therefore we were restricted to filming on premises. The acting is different as well as the real movie has professional trained actors that can properly convey emotions as well as convincing dialogue, while the actors in our video had very little experience. i have learnt how to handle a camera properly with a tripod. I have learnt a lot from editing using final cut, like adding sound cutting shots etc.

Skills development 2

In a small group I will create a trailer based upon a new release. I expect to develop the following skills:

• Have a clear understanding of the structure of trailers (pace, number of shots, number of locations, narrative, number of actors).
• Camerawork (framing, angle, distance, movement).
• Sound (creating a soundscape that thinks about mixing sounds [diegetic & non-diegetic]).
• Mise-en-Scene (range of costumes & props needed, numerous location throughout the film).
• Directing (acting is important as it contributes towards your marks for directing).
• Editing (integrating sound & image effectively).
