Evaluation.
Idea Development
For my idea development we didn't have to figure out what we wanted to do, our tutor already had it planned out for us, and we had to film and photograph the college catwalk down at the 'Viaduct' in Dean Clough. We did get the decision wether we wanted to either film or photograph the catwalk though. I photographed the catwalk as I felt more confident by doing that.
Research
For this project I had to research various camera shot types and using the camera in different ways I also looked at cinematography. Whilst doing the research for this project I actually had to work out how to pan, tilt and zoom, work out how to use the exposure and white balance etc. We also learnt how to rule of thirds, camera angles and camera shot types for example, medium close ups (MCU), close ups (CU), point of view (POV) etc.
Investigation
In my investigation I did primary and secondary source research. I did secondary by researching up the camera shot angles and what they all meant and how the rule of thirds worked etc. I suppose I did do primary by figuring out how to do depth of field and how to work out the white balance.
Techniques / Workshops
For my techniques / workshops, I used Premiere to gather all the video footage together and basically make a fashion show video out of it.
Design Development
For my design development its basically how did I arrive at my final design. Like I said at the beginning of the evaluation we already knew what we were doing for our final design because our tutor had it all planned out for us, as the college were having a fashion catwalk like they do every year. But I did need to decide wether I wanted to photograph the event of film it.
Final Design
For my final outcome, I had to create a fashion show video by using the footage we had from the college catwalk. We all worked as a group and we put all the footage onto one computer and we picked out the footage we wanted to use for our own video. Once I figured out what footage I wanted, I then had to import it all into Premiere and then I also had to figure out what music would go with the video, I chose 'Florence and the Machine - Spectrum (Maya Jane Coles Remix) I thought this piece of music went really well with the video, once I placed all the footage together I then had to think wether I wanted parts of the video colour casting. I colour casted all the video's by using the same colour on each one so it made it look professional.
Strengths and Weaknesses
For my strengths and weaknesses of this project, I personally think my weaknesses were when I were photographing the college catwalk, not because my photographs didn't turn out well because my opinion I thought they were good. I think I just wasn't as confident in front of a big crowd. But I think if I had to do this project again I would defiantly have enough confidence to do it. My strengths on this project would be my final design, I was really pleased with the outcome on this project, I loved the way I colour casted the video.
