End of Week Three- Analysis.

ANALYSIS* 

This week within my studio brief I started looking at camera equipment. Within this I looked at various camera's to use I settled for my Canon 18-55mm lens, compact DSLR camera to film with I then opted for a Calumet tripod with an external mic to record my video clips on and with.

I also decided to use varied camera angles for these shots for example I decided to use Over the shoulder shot to show me looking at research, I also created screen recordings and used a Medium Close-Up for my forward facing filming. I am planning on using wide shot and close-up to film me creating my video. 

These are some screen shots of my video coming together. 

What I am trying to decide now is which software to edit with, I struggle using Adobe After Effects but I'm wanting to push myself, I also thought of using iMovie as I used this during sixth form but I feel that this is the way option. 

I did try filming my clips at first with just my mic on my camera this wouldn't work however so I hired the Nikon ME-1 external mic, and fitted this on top of my camera to get a better overall sound quality on my video. For the over the shoulder shots and the screen recordings I used a Olympus Digital voice recorder with the external mic attached to get the same sound quality throughout my video, with these voice recordings I plan to overlap them on my video.

This is now what my script looks like with all my notes and I'm finally starting to piece my work together! 

I've had a lot of time to reflect this week and its made this week a bit difficult and making me question what I do and why...? Hopefully this week's video will explain that to you. I changed my microphone this week and tried a Zoom Recorder, this sounded so much better only until it came to editing and all you can hear is my clock which is on the other side of my room!! 

I want to be able to challenge myself in this brief, I want to gain more skills and knowledge and adapt my skills to take new approaches on brief, without the standard Adobe Suite skills. If I don't achieve this by the end of this brief I will be highly disappointed in myself. In this video there are many pauses, stops and erms; I wanted to keep this in because it is me taking my time with my thoughts it is me allowing my brain to overthink and question not only my own opinions and thoughts but my peers, family, tutors and friends.
