Under Tutorial 4

Tutorial four required us to make our own silent short film. We had limited time to create and edit this film. The theme was "Overcoming Adversity”. In this video the adversity related to a student not getting to class on time and all the possible incidents that may occur along the way.
Before filming, we did a rough story board by sketching each scene and writing what happens through out the scene.

When filming we used a tripod. We used this because our hands were very shaky while filming and we wanted the camera on a stand like the tripod to decrease as little movement as possible.
We used an extreme close up of Fenja through the middle of the movie to show her frustration on not finding the correct class in time, because she has fallen asleep therefore made her late for class.  
After filming we downloaded the film on to the computer via a USB port. In this video production session we used a software called ‘movie maker’. So we loaded our video on to the programme. Firstly we deleted parts of the video we didn’t like. Then we simply made an opening scene and a finale to the film. After the finale credits rolled through. I really enjoyed editing this video as it was lots of fun playing around with different ways a movie can be edited.

Lastly we added music to the video. We tried to get music that best suited our theme- ‘Overcoming Diversity’.

We thought this theme was appropriate as Fenja generally falls asleep in class.  
For example, I learnt how to work together as a group, to produce our film. We all had different ideas and our final combined effort was much better. We learnt about different camera shots and how to edit and add music to our movie through movie maker which is software to help edit videos.
