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.
