Screen Records Reflection

-
In editing, I recorded my process through many sitings and made a long video of the whole process. I made the most of every sitting by doing these recordings and showing my process. Looking back on this was actually very useful to me since I was enabled to go back and pick up where I left off. As I could do this, I was swift and quick in getting underway at the start of each day in the one week I did it in, which made the whole process much quicker and easier. I had made lots of progress in this editing process as I learned a lot about Premiere Pro as I feel I have completed one of my S.M.A.R.T targets which were to learn more about all the Adobe apps specifically Premiere. I learned a lot about filters and the balance between making it too saturated and blurry to then very vibrant.  If too vibrant, it will be pixelated and the same with saturation. I also used the sharpen tool so that I could make my images as higher quality as possible since changing the colour took away from it a little bit. The details were faded as they were focused solely on colour and not the details themselves, so shapen helped bring those details out.

Specifically, the amount I used of each was

Saturation: 168.6

Vibrance: 49.2

I did this for each and every shot which is what I wanted to do way back since research, which I learned a great deal from. This made every shot filtered and unique and although the same numbers were used, it was still unique because it brings out its own colour in each shot since nothing was the same. I never recycled any shots, not even from the introduction. This was because I wanted to make a point to prove to myself that I could make a film the whole way without having to recycle clips. I was right and I didn't have to. Thankfully I had everything to express my point well enough and I think it worked.

On the whole, I enjoyed this editing process as it gave me a wider understanding of Premiere and obviously I had a massively improved understanding of what my film would be and what it now is. I am proud of what I made and as you can tell by the length of the video, I have put my heart and soul into this. I devoted all my time towards it and worked very hard on it. Although some of this editing summary shows just me editing very quickly I have also sped this up 1000% otherwise this whole video would be around 11 hours long as my film is just under 17 minutes long and the export took 40 minutes.

I have used many more tools than just the filters. I have cropped it to make a letterbox in the search bar in Premiere also, I have made a lot of progress in using the razor tool and cutting footage equally. Exprting problems

PITCH FEEDBACK

Opinion from pitch My pitch was great! I know that I must be more vigilant and thoroughly plan my project out, and I will up my game to aim for the Distinction grade. I know it went well because I knew my point was getting across. The point of this film is the fact that the 'Caterham' is an under-rated underdog supercar that people have overlooked. Or just simply that people don't know about it. So I will teach them not just about the car but the community and the whole prospectus. I knew this was getting across since my presentation was explaining it. Ed told me that my presentation was good so I could tell he knew what I wanted to do. I told him about the community and it says in my presentation that it exists. I hadn't told him statistics yet since I am saving that for my film. I wish that I could have done a whole presentation with a projector and standing up I feel that it would have run smoother instead of me sitting down and talking about it. If I am ever to

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKNi9IYfMTc In my 60 second video, I chose to go with tension as my genre. I haven't tried tension and it was something I wanted to do. I liked making this film but at the start, I was aiming for a comedy and I guess it is a bit of both.  From target 3.1 I learned new and interesting shot types such as, a low angle looking up and the high angle looking down which are great to use because they show how a character is feeling. For example, the low angle looking up can show that a character is feeling intimidated and a high angle looking down is the person providing the argument. I learned this through watching 'A few good men" in the "You can't handle the truth" scene.  In my film, I use the low angle facing up to the girl so the guy in the chair was feeling intimidated. This gives my film a twist because you don't expect the guy in the chair to be intimidated since he is giving the girl orders. I tried to crea

Feedback

For the product assessment, I have asked 4 people to write a short paragraph stating what was good and bad about my film and what I could change. I did this not only because the brief requires it but out of personal interest to see what people made of my film. I was very intrigued by what they thought of it and not for them to just say 'good' but go into detail and perhaps pick my film apart. This method has definitely proven worthy in the past as I have had much feedback on previous short films explaining not only what was wrong but why it was wrong which helped me learn a great deal about me as a director and learn a lot more about my film. I have learned many valuable lessons such as; 'Always keep your target audience in mind' and 'keep the camera work as smooth as possible if it's a crucial scene.' It is things like this that teach me and allow me to be a better director in the future. I definitely did keep my target audience in mind while making th
