Evaluation 6 Alex Barker

In order to create our thriller film opening we needed to use a variety of technologies to create and improve, each having a unique purpose. For Example to edit our clips we record on a 1080p digital camcorder and we would use FinalCut Pro which is an editing software available on apple macs that were used in the college in lessons and free time.

To begin with to record the clips digital camcorder to collect all of the clips that was needed for our thriller opening. By using the digital cameras we were able to capture a vast-range of different clips, using many different angles and camera movements. For instance we would use close up shots and tracking shots. The tracking shots were done on a handheld. We thought this was a good idea because it would make the audience feel like they are following the character without her knowing. But when standing in the same spot when filming. To hold the camera in them shots, we would used a tripod to stable the camera in position. We did this so that we could capture the best clips as much as possible.


Secondly we used would lighting equipment to make sure the light up the shed so that we would have more control for our scene as we would have no control over the usual light. By doing this we were able to use the lights we would place them where we think would be best to shoot our clips. Furthermore by using the lights, we would use filters which were attached to the lights so that it create a specific mood in our case, we would it to be a dark depressing mood. Overall, the colours of the lights would give off  a range of different atmospheres in the room, which is a vital so you can create the mood of the scene.

Finally to edit our clips. We would use FinalCut Pro to edit them. We had to cut and crop our clips down in order to make sure the clips flowed with each other together. Once all the clips had been picked to the right size we would then put them all the clips together to make sure opening storyline made sense. Once done, we would add effects to the clips. For example we added a part-white faded transition between clips to show the idea that our character is suffering from illusions making the audience question upon what is going on.

  1. Where is the rest of your evaluation? The deadline was before Easter. This needs far more detail, illustration and evaluation of your skills - this is very descriptive.. Look at level 4 examples on my blog (blog list at the bottom). You were advised to use a more visual format for this to gain marks for presentation. As things stand, you can't achieve marks for presentation with the above format. Currently, this is low level 2 (E)
