Evaluation Of Preliminary Task

When filming and editing are task, we have, as a group learnt a lot about what techniques to use while filming. Firstly, match on action. We learnt its important to get the timing right for the whole scene to actually make sense and be in chronological order. One thing we found out while being a cameraman is that the use of the tripod is key, as some shots require a still motion. If handheld, it becomes unstirdy and the viewer is given the wrong impression of the atmosphere the characters are in. When editing, the background volume plays an important role in the build up of the scene. We learnt how to control this via Final Cut. We didnt want to blow the viewer away with the sound, so we tuned it down to make it seem more relaxed. We also learnt how to fade in and out the end credits to add a more professional end to the sequence.

Through all the things we have learnt from this task, we hope to apply them are childrens opening sequence. :)
