prelim evaluation

My group video I believe was a success. I believe that was down to the planning we as a group and the overall storyline, the video was effective because we researched the different camera shots and understood how to get them and make them work we each looked at different films and took ideas and shots from there and incorporated some in to our video. As a group we tried to use a range of shots in our video to make it look like a realistic film and using the college area’s adapted the shots to suit both our story and the and the shots themselves. We choose to do our film about a kidnap witch I believe allowed for us to be very creative with our angles and designs and witch allowed us to use shots such as the extreme close up. During our filming in the group we had a lot of ideas for different placements and positions of the camera and I think as a group we got it right because we were always careful not to break the 180 degree rule. I felt we worked well together in coming up with the storyline and contouring evenly to the film, I also felt that we here using ideas that we had seen from other films in this. I was camera man in this group and I believe a captured various different angles of the scenes so when it was edited together the camera was not static in one place but jumped around showing a more hole perspective of what was going on. I think that we could have filmed the scenes in order more so we were more organised coming to the editing stage so we had more time to sort out and cut the different segments of the film. But overall very pleased with how it turned out.

Opie Evaluation

I believe the opie was successful, the photo shop editing software was simple to use and as I got used to it I was able to add to in depth features to the design. The task was clearly explained and I had plenty of time to complete it. Some of the features I added did not go exactly as I would have hoped eg the hair high lights and the colour, if I was to do these again I would have been more precise and realistic with the colour I used for the hair highlights and also I would have suited it more to my real hair taking into account the light and dark parts in my hair. Some features where a success namely the skin colour witch I believe suited the design and was in some way a realistic colour. The face features such as eye brows and facial hair I believe suit the character. If I was to have the time again to redo the face features I would have made sure I was more careful with the lassowing toll that goes around the selected parts to add colour and detail. Overall the design and colour I used I was happy with, and I felt I did my best interms of detail and colour. I was happy using the layers and the software and the Mac computer.
