Advertising Pre-Production

Video profile second script

Hi my name is Paulius Harper and I enjoy long walks in the park.

But on a more serious note I am a media student at CWC and have been for two years now. Which is strange considering for as long as could remember I wanted to be a chef, and I even did a year at a catering school.

But I have always had a love for movies and as soon as I found out job in media were a real thing I switched courses; and am enjoying this way more.

I watch more movies than I would like to admit, and it’s not just feature length ones, I also watch short films and skits, mainly from production companies that exist only on the internet.

Movies aren’t my only hobby either, I also enjoy gaming but more as a pastime than anything. I am quite an avid reader and I think my joy from writing stems from that as well.

My goal for the future is to go into film and become a director, hopefully even making a blockbuster one day. 

Video Profile Second Self Evaluation

For this project we had make a video about us, what we do and our interests and hobbies. I chose to do mine about the ways in which I consume media. But before I could even start pre-production I had to watch and compare other video profiles. This way actually quite helpful it gave me a clearer idea of what to do and influenced some aspects of when I went to film mine.

The first thing to do before I could film was to write a script, then compose a shot list for it. This task was quite challenging in particular because I had never thought of where or what I would film before I actually started. After the script and shot list were done I could finally start filming. This I found to be quite tricky because I did it by myself and quickly realized how hard I found it to talk straight into the camera without anyone there.

My strength in this project I’d have to say were my editing skills because I made quite a few mistakes while filming, usually in the middle or the end of a segment. But I managed to make it as seamless as possible.

My main weakness as mentioned before was talking straight to camera with no one else there, and as a result of this I went off script a bit in some places. And also there were a lot of pauses when talking which I had to edit out.

The improvements I would make for this project are, firstly I would make it longer and maybe go into more detail about my hobbies and talk more about what my plans and aspirations are. I would also like to make it cut away footage with a voice over instead of it just cutting back to me sitting in a chair.
