Me-Vid evaluation

ME-VID EVALUATION

Pre-Production
I first had to make my script which was a plan so i knew what i was going to have in my me-vid we had to have at least 80 shots of our hobbies and interests. i learnt the best way to layout a shooting scrip so in the future i now know what I'm doing. It was good that i used a shooting script because if i forgot to film anything i could look at my script and i would know what to film. its good because its a good way to keep organised to what order your going to put the shots in.

What i did from my scrip is at the start of my video i have me introducing my self and the next shot was me saying what I'm going to be showing the video and then i had my graphics covering the bottom of the screen with it saying what I'm going to include as it says in my shooting script. the program i used to make my graphic was live type it was easy to use once i knew where everything was. the program i used to make my me-vid was final cut express.


Production Skills

In some of my shots i had to shorten with the razor tool and some short i had to crop because the video had to be at least 3 minuets so i cut down a lot of my shots. i couldn't use all the rooms i wanted because at the time either my family were round or something was going on so i would use my room or my brothers room tried to use most of my shots i recorded but most had to be up to 2 to 3 seconds long so in my me vid i had a lot of jump cuts

I have learnt how to use a green screen which is one of the most things i wanted to learn because its really cool to have any background you want and be there when your actually not there for example i used a map from a game and i acted as if i was there in my green screen and i said that this is my best map and why i liked it.

i used some archive footage in my video which is shown as my interest which is fast and the furious and the TV show friends the reason i used these in my video is because they are my favourite things to watch in my spare to time. In the screen shot you can see my graphics that i used so i had it clear so it would stand out and people would find it easy to read and for them to understand it better.





What i found easy was the filming i like my filming because its one of the reason i love media. in final cut express because i had never used the program before i had to start fresh and to learn it was a bit confusing but at the end it became very easy and i would like to do it more in the future.
 its fun and its something that fascinates me so that's why i like it the thing i found hard was the editing because i had to know what points i had to cut and if i wanted some points that i couldn't have it was a bit tricky but it was fun to learn and i would like to learn more like this later on.

How will the skills i have learnt help me when i do my music video production.
Every thing i have learnt over doing this project and past ones will help me because now i know how to make a shooting script and plan before hand it will be much easier then just doing it off the top of my head and improvising so i think for the next production i do i will be prepared for it.
