Final Prisoner Clip. By Kelly and Louise

For this video, we had to shoot various shots which were more complicated from our first task. Some of the shots were Dolly Shot, Follow Shot, Hand Held and other pans/tilts. I found this task more challenging than the first one but I felt I was more confident when working with the camera and was more willing to experiment with various settings etc. We found that some shots were more difficult that others because the camera was not as stable as it should have been, this was because we didn’t have the equipment that we may have needed. In the middle of filming our camera switched off and this became a problem as we started to run out of filming time. Overall I found that the task was exciting and I liked experimenting with the more technical and difficult shots. Everyone in my group contributed well and shared the filming time evenly. I also enjoyed editing this video and finding out new effects and ways of doing things such as adding text.

This is the song I chose to use in my opening scene of my film. I think the upbeat rhythm contrasts well with the dramatic things that are happening in the video.

For this video we went out filming around the school. We worked together quite well but found it difficult working with the camera for the first time and setting up the tripod. We filmed various shots such as 'close ups', 'long shots' and 'medium close up' etc. I think we could improve this video by adding more texts and playing around with other video transitions. When filming we found that the wind was an issue as it effected the noise that the camera picked up. To stop this from becoming a problem with the final piece of work we decided to make the whole clip silent. Video by Kelly, Sarah and Louise.
