Evaluation for final film

For the final film of the unit we did a photo essay. For the project I had chosen to do a story about something that had happened to me inside a computer game. The reasoning behind this is because I am a big gaming fanatic and I thought for at least one of my projects could have been based around one of my favorite computer game. I started the photo essay on monday 11:00 am till 8:00 pm during this time I captured 60 photos. I captured this many photos because I had a bad camera so quite a few of the shots were rather blurred. My weakness during the shoot was taking photos since the camera i was using was bad at actually taking picture and projecting my voice clearly when talking . The editing for the project went quite smoothly The reason I edited in the way that I did was because it fit with the story that I told E.G The photo of the dragon burning me and killing me I state "that he is burning everything and he killed instantly". During the screening I did receive some constructive criticism for the project one such being that i have to speak louder and clearly, wright a script, some say that the voice over I did was a good concept it just needed to be more clear were as other said it was a bad idea though other said and i agree that without the voice over it would be unclear what is happening and finally people said that the images were good but blurred if they were much more clear the video would look so much better. 

  

The day I swore to defeat Deathwing

lord of the rings evaluation practice

Stars with black screen and narration then classical orchestral music begins as the title fades in then fades out to a scene with narration of one of the character we learn about later on she talks about the creation of the great rings and how they were forged. The narrator states that 3 of the rings were gifted to the elves “immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings” there was a close up shot of the three elves hands with the rings which zooms to a mid shot to show the face of a young beautiful woman to keep her statement true the lighting in this shot is bright and radiant to make them seem mystical and almost angelic creatures. The narrator continues on to say that seven rings were given to the dwarf lords “great miners and craftsman of the mountain halls” the camera stars with a close up of all seven rings then does a close up pan shot of the dwarfs with the rings in there hands the faces of the dwarfs are clear but the rings are blurred by there facial expressions we can tell that the dwarfs are admiring the rings. The camera then cuts to a long shot of the dwarfs holding the rings in the air the lighting in the dwarf shots is dark and dirty to show that they are underground men the only light shown in the shots are the candles. The narrator then states that “nine rings were given to the race of men who above all else desire power” the camera for this shot is a zoom shot which starts with a medium shot which moves out to a long shot then fades out.

video haiku ideas

Ideas that i might use for the haiku video .
I first looked on a site for haiku poems I might use for the video I found a couple I liked:

Leaf falls from a tree
and returns to it
it was a butterfly,

Upon a naked branch
A raven came
Autumn dusk,

We are as in autumn
On the branches
leaves

and

A crash reduces
Your expensive computer
To a simple stone

I also at one point tried to come up with my own but I struggled to think of one so I gave up and used the forth one I picked

We are as in autumn

Autumn dusk

We stand alone
Pierced by a ray of sun
and already its dark
