I am now recording my evaluation videos. It is becoming very stressful because I have very little charge left on the camera and the memory card has decided it wants to lock itself! I am finding it hard to remember what to say so I have resulted in sticky taping my answers to the tripod!
I have finally finished writing out my answers to the evaluation questions, it took a lot longer than I had anticipated and it involved a lot of trips running down to get feedback from my mum!
These are the questions we were asked:
In what ways does your film opening use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
How does your film opening represent particular social groups?
What kind of media institute might distribute your film opening and why?
Who would be the audience for your film opening?
How did you attract/address your audience?
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this film opening?
Looking back at your prelim task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to your final film opening?
Here is our finished product! As a group we've had many ups and downs over the past year. It was incredibly stressful trying to get our filming and editing schedules sorted but we still managed it, next year we'll spend time organizing everything much further in advance so that no excuses can be made! I am so very proud of what we have achieved and I wouldn't have wanted to go through it all with anyone other than Khadija and Eleanor so hopefully we'll all get onto the A2 course next year!
So this is what the countdown now looks like, this both worries and excites me. It's hard to think that only a few months ago we were making a preliminary video of me running through the door screaming "I'm going to have a baby", we've all come so far!
Luckily I had study time this afternoon so I spent my time watching through all of the footage to find all of the funny bits! It was really hard to choose what bits to add in because I think we had more shots of people laughing and joking than actual footage that we could use! There was a lesson going on while I was editing this so I was trying really hard not to laugh too loud :S. After watching this through a few times I'm starting to feel all nostalgic, I can't believe that this is the end! Now for the music videos next year, I can't wait!
These are the two different background sounds we have chosen to add to our film opening. Luckily we managed to find the perfect music! We have aquired permission from the owners of the sound (refer to screenshots)
