Foundation Portfolio Evaluation

What did you learn about the cameras and editing software during the preliminary task?

During our prelimainary task we learned how to use variouse skills such as jump cuts and this can be done by pressing pause ont he camera whilst filming and then pressing record again in which creates a jump cut/shot.
T he Camera and editing wasnt as what we expected it was a good experiance, however we need to learn more about editing as we havent started to post our preliminary task on our blog.

In the filming and editing of your project, what worked well and what could have been improved?

In our Filming and Editing of our project , if had used better lighting and sound equipment such as a microphone, then the composure of our filming would have been better and in conclusion it finished product would have come out much better .
With the editing, getting our heads around how to use the programme took some time.
So editing took us longer than it should have. In the end we messed around with the programme to get an idea on how it worked in order for the finished piece to have continuity and flow .
When we all work together the work we do becomes clearer and easier to understand but when one or two people are absent and arent in to complete the group work it makes the quality of our work poor, so we need to improve on attendance and teamwork.


Give a detailed, specific example of how you have used a shot/ reverse shot combination in your film?


Give a detailed, specific example of how you achieved match cuts during the editing process


How did you make sure that you didn’t break the 180 degree rule? Or if you broke it, what have you learnt from this?
The 180 degree rule we havent broken yet , but if we did we would learn to make sure we stay on one side and not keep swapping angles and sides to cause confusion to the audience and to ourselves.
