Evaluation - Question 3

How did your production skills develop throughout this project? Throughout this project my group

We used a Canon D600 and a Canon 70D to film our movie, comparing the footage from the DSLR Camera to the GoPro Hero4 it is unparalleled. The quality of the footage is very different as the DSLR had the better image quality but the GoPro had an almost fish eye approach as the footage is circled.

For the behind-the-scenes footage and production stills, a Canon 700D was used so as to avoid overloading the memory of the filming DSLRs. We had separate memory cards for BTS and actual filming footage; a 64 GB memory card was used for the filming, and an 8GB SD card was used for BTS footage and production photographs. YouTube tutorials were immensely helpful in understanding the mechanisms of the GoPro Hero 4 as we were all unfamiliar with using it prior to some online research.

After we filmed our footage which took 4-5 days as we underestimated the filming length. Adobe Premiere was very good as it allowed my group to edit quickly and tint our overall film to make the desert look better and the sky look a vibrant blue. Nikita then downloaded free SFX effects such as muzzle flash and explosion effects. After adding in the SFX effects we focused on our soundtrack. Our soundtrack was a remake of the Mad Max: Fury Road soundtrack.

We also used google docs and blogger to upload our progress and planning for our first and final draft of our movie.

We used a variety of different editing software’s to edit and add the effects into our movie. I used Adobe Premier to put the sequence together but I used Photoshop to design our group’s logo and title designs.
