Evavluation of film



I have been making a film for media studies and it is a re-enactment of the TV soap 'Eastenders'. in this part of the lesson we had to get a cam-corder and then film a part of 'Eastenders' we then went into the Mac rooms and then we had to add effects and fit all of the recording together.



-this scene is a typical example of a TV soap because there are a lot of different characters that are living in the same area and then there is a problejm that they all have, there are a lot of different acters in the TV series.


-the camera angles that have been in this TV soap are: mid shot, slose up, pan shot, master shot, two shot, zoom out, establishing shot.


-the recreation that we made was not very acurate because there was not enough people in some 0f the scenes and there were no props in the scene like the curtains.


-the sucesses that we had were that we could make the TV soap and we recreated the beggining scene from the popular soap Eastenders, we also encountered problems e.g. we didnt have enough people to do some of the clips, we didnt have enough time to get it like the tv soap (origional).


- i have learnt the word mise en scene and i have also learnt about what means. the word mise en scene means all of the things that are in the picture clip of a film, video, tv soap and so on... e.g. in the tv soap emerdale that we had to re-create there was a telephone, door, wall, clothes that the people were wearing (costumes), kitchen units, all of these are part of the mise en scene.


-i have learnt that the continuity in a video is important because if the clip changes to the next one and there is a jump that is obvious then the movie doesnt look as good as a movie that is smoothe throught out all of the clips


-i think that i will need to work on my techniques because i am not sure on all of the different names of camera shots, also i am not sure on what some of them are like the establishing shot.


i feel more confident with using a camera to record a moving image because i know how to do most of the basic stuff in editing the futtage and i am less confident with creating a print based product because i dont know much about the software that is needed
