Evaluation

Day 1: I started by going to royal creasent and filmed the start of the film, i filmed 8 shots in total they were the following:

• Wide angle shot (aiden walking)

• close up (aiden's phone)

• medium shot (aiden on the phone)

• tracking wide shot (aiden picking up letter)

• close up (the letter)

• establishing shot (Following aiden walking)

• low shot (of aaron in the distance and aiden's feet)

• over the shoulder shot (aaron in the distance)
  
  
  we couldnt film anymore as we didnt have enough time as we also filmed dan's film. we were going to record some sound but the sound recorder didnt work with the microphone that we used. When we did the assassins creed foley we learnt alot on what to record and how to record it also the guitarist interview short clip that we filmed also helped as we learnt about the 5 shot method which helped me get te right shots and to have a veriety of shots

Day 2: We went out all day to finish the rest of my film we managed to film 8 shots in the last lesson, and the rest we filmed in the second session.

• establishing shot (following aiden running to aaron)

• close up (close up of aarons face)

• wide shot (aaron running up path)

• wide shot (aaron running + sat on the bench)

• side shot (aaron looking at killer on bench)

• Wide shot (killer looking at aaron)
  
  
  These were the shots that i completed on the second lesson. The clip of the guitarist helped again as i filmed a veriety of shots that were not repeated throughout the film.
  Again we were not able to record any foley as our recorder wasnt working again. in the future we checked it before going out.
   

Library Foley

While doing the foley for the library clip i learnt many new things about sound and equipment.
before we started to record our sound we had to go through how the equipment worked, so we learnt about male and female cables and XLR cables and shotgun microphone etc. After i was told how to use this equipment we started recording, we moved locations three times because we had interference with people come in and out and technicians. So that was also another thing i learnt that i will not repeat to save time. We recorded all of the sounds in the drama studio as it was empty and quiet. I liked this activity as i know that all the sounds used in the foley are my own and they fit in with the clip.

What i haven't enjoyed about this task was people butting into my sounds when i was recording and having to move around a lot which would waste a lot of time.

When i recorded the sounds i wanted them to sound exactly how the clip shows but obviously it s hard to do that when you haven't got the clip right in front of you, but when it come to adding the sounds to the actual clip it wasn't so bad as i was able to edit the sound and make it fit in better.

Balanced audio is very important. If you have sounds that you have recorded that clip or are way too quiet, they are no good, you need sound which doesn't clip and every sound that you record needs to be in the same range otherwise they are hard to work with or may have to redo them.

I used this ZOOM sound recorder with a shotgun microphone 

Assassins Creed 3

In todays lecture we learnt what folioing is, i done this on assassins creed gameplay, we all worked on pro premiere and added sound effects to create the video.

This task was good fun also i learnt how to fade in and out clips and sound effects and how to make the fade shorter or longer.
