Transcript of Evaluation question 6
What have you learnt about technologies from constructing this product?Daniel Payn
CamerasThe first thing we learnt about cameraswas the ability to focus back and forth between two people or objects.
CamerasThe first thing we learnt about cameraswas the ability to focus back and forth between two people or objects. Having a low depth of field can
create tension because the character’s face (foreground) is in focus whereasthe background is out of focus making the viewer concentrate on the character more.

Since shallow focus can be really effective, we wanted to get the best camera.

The best camera available was a Panasonic HD camcorderthat was able to shoot in 1080p.

To focus correctly, we placed ouractors on a sofa with the camera placedon one side of the sofa.

We then manually focused on what we thought was appropriate during filming.
Cameras-Movement
To have shot variety we needed different cameramovements.

The first movementwe did in the film was a crabaround the car.

We used this technique becauseit allows the viewers to see all ofthe characters coming out of the car.

In the end the crab came out goodBut I think it could have been executed better.
SoundWhen it came to sound, We had a choice of twomicrophones.

SoundWe had the opportunity to use both microphones becausewe had to reshoot some scenes withsound that did not come out properly.

These were some pros and consI found while using a boom.

ADVANTAGES: BOOM DISADVANTAGES: BOOM
Very good sound qualityLess background noiseFur cover helps reduce wind noise
Hard to get out of shotSometimes stops working meaningwe had to regularly check if the sound was good enough or not.
These were some pros and consI found while using a boom.
SoundThese were some pros and consI found while using a chevalierMicrophone or ‘clip mic’ for short.
ADVANTAGES: CLIP MIC DISADVANTAGES: CLIP MIC
Very easy to useEasy to keep out shotGood sound qualityEasy to set up
Sound quality not as good as a boom microphone.

SoundTo put a verdict to clip and boom microphones, we thought theClip microphone was much better to use than the boom microphone.The biggest reason why we thought it was better was because of not havingto worry about it being in shot. Our location included a mirror in the background and keeping the boom microphone out of shot was time consumingand it wasted time. Despite preferring the clip microphone I can understand whena boom would be needed but that depends on the scene being filmed.

•The day we filmed it was a sunny day and some scenes were too bright so we had to use the lowest key lighting as possible.

•In some scenes the lighting on my face was too dark so we used a mirror to reflect sunlight onto my face, the mirror acted as our fill light whilst the sun was acting as a backlight.

In this shot we used a fill and a key light but they were both too small.

Here we used a large mirror to reflect thesun onto my face instead of using a fill anda key light because it balanced out the amountof light on my face better.
