Evaluation Q5

How did your production skills develop throughout this project?


At the beginning of my AS media studies course, i had no information of  the subject but since the first day of the course i have been improving my skills ever since and now have been significant in each criteria of skills.

Codes and Conventions

I was very confused to what media studies would teach me about film making. Going through film opening in class with the teachers explanation of the representation which creates meaning for the film which would show which genre the film is. I feel that I can refer all the micro-elements which could affect the meaning of the opening. I feel confident with my skills of using codes and convention which has been used in my Film opening.

Planning and organisation

I have always been weak at organizing for a huge tasks like this task. This has happened during the production of my 1 minute film challenge which was a good start for my first film but could have been better if I had planned more efficiently. After I finished the Dead alive film opening, I felt that I helped my group and organization have been very important which led us to be able to gather many ideas to produce such an opening.

Camerawork

Before beginning this course I had difficulties in taking shots of scenes and the different types of them. During the production of dead alive, I had a little time using the camera which I learnt in class about different shot types. Now I am able to use different types of shot which had been taken In dead alive.

Visual effects

Visual effects was brand new to me and It was very difficult for me to understand. I had my hands on some use of visual effects and applied it to our film opening. I still do not feel confident with it but felt that I made an improvement.

Editing

For the 1 minute film challenge, I had to do some editing which went well for my first ever attempt. Since then I have improved slightly in this skill as I have edited couple of scenes in the dead alive film opening and it went very well.

Creative confidence

My confidence in bringing up ideas was very poor during the planning of the 1 minute film challenge as I was not sure if it would mix into the genre or not. Although during the planning, I came up with many ideas as I became for confident as I gain knowledge of codes and convention which helped me understand the concept of film making which gave me notice of what I could add to the film opening to make it better.
