GOODBYE!!
Overall, I think we did a great job in our short film, though I do think the pace of the film could have gone better, and if we could have kept it at 6-7 minutes, I think it would have been better, but otherwise I’m pleased with my work. I’m glad to know my research, planning, time and effort didn’t go to waste. 🙂
Thank you for joining me in my journey of creating The Epiphany.
Post count:
Evaluation: How do your products use or challenge coventions and how do they represent social groups or issues?
Evaluation: How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?
HARDWARE:
Hardware! We used a Canon 60D with 24-105mm lens for the camera, and a RODE Directional Microphone for the microphone. We also used a tripod for some scenes in our film, the same one used last year. The camera is fantastic and a LOT better than the previous camcorder I used last year, I mean, just look at the difference:
The one on the left is a screenshot from the camcorder, and the one on the right is a screenshot from my project this year. The colour and image resolution is SO much better with this camera!
The microphone is fantastic, not only does it manage to get sound from far distances, it also separates the audio file with the video file, which makes it much easier when editing it!
Preview & Feedback!
We showed our final cut to the whole cast and asked them for what they thought could be improved.
Improvements:
- If it could be longer, they thought it would have been better if it was longer as it seemed a little rushed
- The scene in the cafe to have subtitles as they couldnt hear Lucy (Jana) speak well because of the background noise
Evaluation: How do the elements of your production work together to create a sense of branding?
CCR: How do your products engage with the audience and how would they be distributed as real media products?
