Practical Coursework, Questions 1-3

1) Contact details and weekly timetable.
  • Joe, Tom and I have swapped mobile numbers, facebook accounts and email addresses so we can keep in constant contact.

2) Self evaluation of skills.

a) Organization/Deadlines/Reliability.
  • Organization: Grace- 3 Tom- 3 Joe- 2
  • Deadlines: Grace- 3 Tom- 3 Joe- 3
  • Reliability: Grace-3 Tom-3 Joe- 3
b) Technical.
  • Camerawork and steadiness: Grace- 2 Tom-3 Joe-3
  • Editing- Grace-3 Tom-3 Joe-3
  • Sound and light- Grace-2 Tom-2 Joe-2
3) Evaluation of preliminary coursework.
  • Skills: I learnt how to use the video camera and equipment (tripods), and how to upload the footage onto the computer. Then edit the footage using Final Cut Express. My group and I practiced cutting unwanted footage out, attempting to make the piece flow.
  • Teamwork experiences: We worked well as a group, sharing out duties, and making sure we all had a go at camerawork and editing the footage. We discussed how to film, then watch it back, making sure we didn't miss anything vital out.
  • The story and messages communicated: We asked members outside of the classroom to act in our short clip, they were wearing smart/casual clothing representing people at school. The message we tried to put out was a nervous girl, opening the door, crossing the room, and bumping into a boy in her class. By dropping her papers all over the floor we managed to use the shot/reverse shot technique.
