Work Evaluation

1. What did you have to do and what was the purpose of the task?
2.What have you learnt in terms of skills, key concepts and ideas
3.What would you do differently if you had the chance? What lessons have you learnt in terms of pre-production / production; in other words, how will you be more efficient next time?


 Re-Creation Video
We were given a task of re-creating a scene from the movie 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' with still images that would be taken from a camera. Our main aim was to take a variety of different shots (close-up, high-angle etc) of the people in the group.
I learnt about some of the many different types of shots there are (close-up, extreme close-up, long, high-angle etc), how to take them and how to set a scene using still images wth a variety of shots. I was also introduced to a new programme called iMovie, it was the first i had ever seen and used it which made editing the pictures a bit of a challenge.
Our time was limited when the shots were being taken and edited together, so one thing i would like to do is to spend more time on it - getting more different types of shots and doing them right. I would also like to be more efficient with the softare that was used to edit the pictures together since then a more higher quality display of work can be presented.

Cropping Exercise
We were given a picture which we were meant to crop out a part of it and tell the story of what the scenario /mise-en-scene was showing as well as make headline.
This task allowed me to manipulate an image to express my own views and opinions of the picture, to say what i saw in it. I was introduced to Adobe Photoshop to crop the picture and can now use the tool to crop effectively.
I would have liked to spend more time on the picture to come up with any other scenarios that could have been missed out, and to give myself to think about what is actually happening in the picture.
