Hi guys, welcome to my blog!
I have recently started my AS media which is really exciting and our first task was to experiment with different shots to create a small video. I did this using a variety of different settings and I was able to learn more about how to capture footage and how to edit. Not only was I able to learn more about how to shoot effective footage, but I was also given the opportunity to use some equipment such as a tripod. This allowed me to be able to make shots appear more professional as the camera image was still and controlled.
I tried to experiment using a variety of Mise En Scene to make my video more exciting and intricate. Most of my video was shot on my schools campus however, to add more variety between shots my partner also shot some footage at home. Here are some images of me and my partner creating our video...
This is me shooting footage using the camera.
This is me shooting footage of my partner.
This is my partner shooting footage of me.
This is me shooting footage of my partner using a long shot. Here i experimented using the zoom.
This is me shooting an extreme close-up of a flower.
Once I had collected all the footage I needed, I uploaded it onto an editing programme and began to learn how to use the different features on the software. After this was completed, I began to create my video. At first the software was challenging, trying to understand all the different features, effects and audio was difficult, but after a while I became more confident.
I experimented with different transitions including the 'fade' to make my video more interesting. I also added music in the background to again appeal to the audience and give the video depth. This is the video I have created:
After I had completed my video me and my partner had some time left, so we decided to use this opportunity to create a bloopers video. This gave us the chance to experiment with a range of different software application and we got to know more about how to create an effective video. We created this using the footage that hadn't been used in our original video. Here is our bloopers video:
