1st Footage - Evaluation



video voice over footage..

BFI trip - How this whole A-Level is supposed to be done!!!!!

Need to totally re-assess our groups 2 min opening because there is no way we are getting level 1 just because of insufficient planning, we need to slow down and take it step by step and that's the way we get top marks, hence what we were shown and taught by Pete Fraser on the BFI trip and the reason for our allowing us to have this whole experience.

"The main thing is to make your final project look like what it is supposed to be- so if it is meant to be a trailer, you need to be sure it shows the conventions of a trailer, but if it is a film opening, it MUST follow the conventions of film openings!
The OCR AS video task asks you to make "the titles and opening of a new fiction film, to last a maximum of two minutes". Many students fall into the trap of thinking this is a really easy task and they can just have a laugh doing it and walk off with a good grade. Nothing could be further from the truth! Expectations are very high from this production work and you will need to work systematically and be extremely well organised if you are to be successful."

Editing Skills..Maybe that's the best idea

Freaky Friday's Footage

Although we never got in trouble, I think the frustration and embarrassment of filming around members of the public was so much worse. They see a camera and a tripod and instead of carrying on normally many individuals want to stop and get in the shot, or ask questions about featuring in the exciting movie we're apparently filming for. hillarious! some of the characters Mac 2 met that day. Overall some good footage enjoy the clip.
