Welcome to my slightly 'broken' blog. As you
may have guessed through the use of the heading and well, the
reason you are even here, this is my AS media studies blog.
Within this magical creation of a blog you will bear witness to a
range of 'half' written blogs including: research with at least a '50%' relation to media, awkward media evaluation questions and my final production. I know, exciting, right? anyways, enjoy! Words in ' ' are just references to my media production.
In conclusion, I believe I have improved greatly since my pre
task, in all 3 sectors, pre-production, production and after/post production. I
believe this as for my pre task I had one day to prepare and I only did a storyboard.
Meaning that on the day of shooting everything was rushed and even some arguments
where heard, due to our miss communication and lack of preparation. Moreover whilst
shooting we failed to create the location and you can see school bags and ‘messy’
tables throughout the production. However the shots we did take were good
(apart for the background) and were able to follow when edited together. During
the post production phase what we did was limited, as we had never edited before,
also as a result of our inexperience the resolution of our pre task came out terribly.
For my final production I learnt from these mistakes and tried to
fix them, which I believe I did. First of all, I planned (shot list, location hunting,
storyboard etc...) and scheduled everything, which created a more stress free
and well communicated environment. Also whilst shooting the scenes, the scenes
were well-made, creating a more ‘professional’ look. I also created more
detailed and complex shots which looked even better from my already good shot
from my pre task. Finally for my post production I spent months learning my
chosen editing software, and as a result the production was high quality in
both audio and video. Overall my media
skills have improved greatly since my pre task.
