In this task, I were to record someone walking through a doorway, from different camera angles, and it was then followed by a few lines of dialogue. The idea was to make this scene flow when using different camera angles, so that you could almost not notice where it jumped. I used continuity editing to make this process happen, and it appeared to work well.
- What did you learn from doing this task?
From this task, I learnt the importance of different camera angles, and when they should be used for different effectiveness. I also learnt different ways in which things can be edited, and how to use different audio tracks to different videos.
- Whats one of my strengths when using the equipment?
One of my strengths when doing this task was being able to hold the camera steady when not using the tripod. We were short on time, and there was not enough time left to put the tripod back down, and set the camera on top of it, so in the clip when Devante walks out of the building, I filmed it by hand.
- What do you think you can improve on?
I think I could improve on my editing skills. I am not too confident on how to use the software well enough to be able to help edit the whole 2 minute opening. I feel the main thing I need to learn is how to cut clips, so I can edit them together seamlessly so I understand further the effects of continuity editing.
- How is this task gonna help me with my thriller?
This post demonstrates a good understanding of why the preliminary task was essential to carry out and this is because you have considered some of your strengths and weaknesses.
