For our preliminary task we used an old Sony video camera

which didn’t really compliment our piece is any way. However for our final sequence we used HD cameras which

really came as a bonus to us when we film Oli on the skateboarded and when they both crash into each other.

The shots were crisper and a lot more smooth and clear.

Camera

From what we learnt about the sound kit at the start of

the year we could put to even better use than our preliminary in our final piece.

When filming we used the boom pole and microphone but as it was so windy we had to use the muffler to cancel it out.

In our preliminary task we filmed in a small room with one window which gave us poor lighting, however filming our main task was outside with natural lighting which gave us a better affect.

Tumblr helped us to keep on track, it kept all

our work in order especially our research. We were able top present it on here in many ways.

Also it meant we could embed things such as link, pictures and video/YouTube clips

YouTube also helped us with research and to look into things like different effects and styles of films. At the end we could then compare them to ours.

YouTube & Tumblr

Premiere Pro is the software we used to edit our sequence.

This gave us a brilliant outcome and made our piece smooth and professional.

To make it smooth we used transition effects using a cross fade when showing the action and fade to black when it had finished so there was no sudden ending.

Over our piece we had a soundtrack which gave such an upbeat feel to our film, this was a friends piece of music that they had created, after adding this we made sure we could still hear the sound of the skateboard and one line of speech as well so it wasn’t too intense. We also used L-cuts and J-cuts to make it run smoothly and professional.

We used After Effects to design our film titles in every

detail, the colour, shape/front, timings etc. We also used it to create our production teams name.

We took professional productions like MGM and made them our own as shown on the next slide.
