As a group we
selectively chose a song that we all liked and felt we could produce a
reasonable video. We had many tasks to complete in order to begin the
construction and production of the video. We have many ancillary, research and
planning tasks to complete as a group. We divided the tasks up between the 4 of
us and completed them then reported back to the group to make the tasks
interactive and upload to the blog.
Personally, I help
with the majority of the filming, editing, blog construction and blog posts. We
also divided our group up with the practical and theory based work. 2 of us
mainly took the editing filming and practical side of the coursework whilst the
other 2 mainly focused on the blog posts. We all as a group had equal blog
posts to complete and post, with feedback from the rest of the group.
From my experience of
filming, editing and making movies/interactive pieces of media text have helped
me improve my ability to handle the practical side in Media. Another thing I
grasped from the construction phase of the project was how to use the equipment
available to me like the Sony HD HR1000E, Pentax K-x, Final Cut Express and
other media technologies I have learnt throughout the course.
During the filming
phase of the construction I went out and helped film with all the stages of the
filming. I had a various range of ideas with the types of shot we used, so I
assisted the rest of my group with the ideas. I filmed all of the band shot’s
section for our video. I learnt about new camera shots/angles from the
experience as I managed to obtain clips from high angles, low angles, a pan
etc. I learnt how this helps the audience recognise that it is a music video
and not a short film with all the fast editing as a key technique.
During the editing phase
of the production, I largely assisted whilst taking a main role with it a
certain times. As Final Cut Express is a hard programme to use fluently, we as
a group had to divide our skills with the programme and learn different
techniques. I feel that I have learnt a lot and helped a large amount with the
editing phase.
To conclude I feel I
have had a large input in the production, construction, research and planning
and evaluation stages of our coursework. I particularly felt that I have had a
large impact on the practical side of the course as well as the theory-based
work with the interactive blog posts. I made myself available to edit, film and
generally help my group whenever possible.
