Production Technical Skill Development


In this video I go through many different types of shots and camera angles which are typically used in films. Most of the shots were recorded on my phone which was suitable for the shots that I achieved. Through using the different types of shots, experimenting with the camera helped me a lot with using different camera settings such as enabling the Rule of Thirds and configuring the focus on the camera. Some camera angles required a tripod which helped me practically so I learned how to use a tripod.

I used non copyright music to give the edit some life. The edit used transitions and various other effects to enhance the video.

This work has helped me as I now know of a wide range of use cases for the camera in my work and the different moods which each camera angle, technique or movement bring to the scene.

In post production, this further helped me to know how to use Adobe Premiere Pro to edit and render my video. It helped my understanding of using things like captions, color correction, transitions and cuts. I also learned what clips to select and use and what clips to delete as they did not work.


For inspiration I analyzed a range of films made by talented directors such as Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorsese. They both use the camera in different ways but both are very effective to setting the mood of the scene.


This is one of my favorite scenes from The Wolf of Wall Street as it follows the main protagonist through the building which us that he controls the building and has authority with the speed and freedom of which the camera is moving. The stopping of the camera's movement at the end makes the punchline more effective and adds for comedy which was intended.

Induction Reflection

 What The Audience Wants

The audience will not want an interview as the demographic will find it boring. The pacing of the project must remain fast. The project needs to be visually appealing.

Post Production
We created a storyboard to plan out the project. We have chosen to have the advertisement start at the entrance of the college as it would recreate what a student would experience. This idea is also used in the dolly cam part of the advertisement.

Production
We shot the project over different days, so it was a challenge finding the correct weather to keep the shots looking uniform.
We used a camera dolly system to capture the camera moving down corridor, it was used so that the footage we got was smoother than the camera would be handheld.

Post Production
We used premiere pro as the editing software, it is the most effective and easy-to-use software available to us. We shortened the footage to keep the pacing which is required for the audience demographic. Transitions are used throughout the edit. I have used copyright-free music in the advertisement for obvious legal reasons.
Audience Feedback
Keep the edit as fast paced as possible. Remain the same pacing throughout the project. Ensure the project is of a specific time. Use an appropriate choice of music in the edit.
