The Prisoner

51274165 On the whole I'm very pleased looking at my finished piece. The clip is smooth and well rounded due to the editing and the music fits in great.I love the running scene (of David smith) the way the camera angles mixed with establishing shots and him running adds a great effect of a commotion or urgency. The only disappointing aspect of my piece is the volume of the speaking. This could be controlled if we had microphones, this may be an option for next time but it wasn't a great problem that couldn't even be fixed with more time to edit the video.

We intended to have my charter to be vanished or melted away when David clicks his fingers (using after effects) but once we'd filmed all the scenes we forgot to have a shot without my charter in the frame so We could not add that but I would have been a cool effect

This is my original storyboard for the prisoner. I'm not a great artist so the sketchings were only really to inspire me when filming . Due to issues with camera angles and obstructions many scenes had to be altered and as we analysed our settings more scenes prevailed that were not originally intended. 

the video and more analysis is to come!

An analysis of the my past work

Alright,

I have put two new videos on "angles of life" and "camera angles".

For "angles of life " I used windows movie maker which gave some good effects and was very simple to use. Yet for projects it's not that great the actual technical side of it there is simply more effects and more tools to edit my products on adobe premier pro (which I used in "camera angles" ) If you watch them both clearly "camera angles " looks more professional and smooth .

With "camera angles" the only criticism I Have is that the cameras and equipment I have available are not the greatest. For example om a few of the shots in high budget films mechanical arms would move the camera but I'm just moving my hand and it's hard to keep a steady rate. That's my only real criticism I was quite impressed with my work.

Alright

Just finished filming my next project named "the prisoner". We were given a script and we had to film and interpret how we think it should be shown. I've got storyboards ready to be put on they will be on the blog very soon.

All in all the filming went great but there was a few issues with trying to keep to the storyboard due to a lack of filming locations and some shots may have been changed because the cameras we are using don't work best in low light so alterations had to be made. Altogether I'm rather proud the work me an David smith did. We are in the process of editing at the moment but it should come out great.

This is my video showing different camera movements. I was most impressed with the handheld tracking shot. I walked with the tripod attached to the camera to give an effective Steadicam. Yet the shot I was least impressed with was the tilt (vertical) . This is because I need to learn how to tilt the camera at a constant speed.
