Wayne's World Swede Evaluation

In this evaluation i will be explaining what i did and why, i will be talking about the swede i made which was imitate of Wayne's World, we had a brief which told us to recreate a Wayne's World without a budget, below i will be telling you my strengths, weaknesses and how i could have improved my Swede.

Strengths 

camera

In the video i believed that we use a lot of camera techniques, which helped us denote situation for example in the video we see Garth at 1:41 go under the table because he was scared as Wayne got fired, we use a mid shot and then pan's towards downwards as Garth fell down which connotes that his scared.

Another strength for the camera was that the camera quality was clear and we understood what was going to happen, for example in the video at 0.02 we see Wayne and Garth singing intro song which was had very clear quality footage. 

mise en scene

mise en scene helped us create the scene, we thought that costume was the most important factor because it was the appearance that actually added the humor, for example at 1.24 we see a male character play a female role by putting a wig on and he also had stuffed foil on his chest to make look like boobs and i believe it added a lot of humor to the video.

Another important mise en scene factor was the props, because we used a lot of props and i think the props created humor for example at 1.20 we see Wayne gets a headache then Garth gives skittles i
nstead of paracetamol, this makes the audience laugh as skittles are sweets.

Sound

The sound is a important factor because without the sound being clear audience would not understand for example at 0.03 we hear Wayne and Garth sing the intro the sound was sung by Frias and Ben who were the main character. the sound is very clear you can hear them singing 'Wayne's world Wayne's world'.

Another strength for the sound from the swede was the car scene at 21 seconds we see Wayne,Garth and the camera group singing 'bohemian rhapsody' , this is a strength as it is a reference to the film and the audio was very clear.

Improve weaknesses

camera

We had a lot of camera issue for example we could found out during post production that some of the footage was cut off to early, this meant that the video would be jumpy as the scenes always stop after they action straight for example 1.16 we see the scenes cut and go to another scene very quick, we would improve this by making sure next time to record scene's for longer.

Another weakness was that we the camera quality overall is not that clear this may be because we use a camera which the quality wasn't great, for example at 1.23 the camera quality was not that clear, if we did this again we would try to use another camera.

mise en scene

I thought one of our weakness was the lighting as the lighting at was not that great because at this scene we see Garth attack the big guy i thought if we use more light it more clear, however the room did not have that much light,in the future i would be doing in a room which has more lighting. lighting make a huge difference.

Another weakness was the locations we used, we basically just used one room as time was against us and we had a deadline which we had to meet. using one room meant all the scene's where located in the class room, for example in the video at 56 seconds we see computers all around but in the actual scene it was meant to be in a restaurant, i would improve this by maybe next time shooting it in a room which suits the location, however it was meant to be a imitation so overall we were successful.

Sound

One of the weakness for the sound was that at the beginning of the Swede we have the intro paper we hear the movement sound which was meant to be removed as we don't want t here the movements, in the future i will be listening to the audio very carefully.

Another weakness was that some audio was cut out, which meant that at 57 seconds of the video when Benjamin tells them that his going to tear the cheque up they say 'no' but then it cut out so they do not finish the sentence, in the future i will we will be looking closely to the audio so that these mistakes do not occur again.

Pre-production skills

Pre-production i what we planned before actually recording footage for example this was the shooting script, location list, cast list,crew list and recording schedule.

Shooting script helped us a lot as we did not have to think when we were actually recording the footage as we already know what we were going to be doing, this made the process a lot quicker and i believe this is a important factor.

Recording schedule was the most important factor for our group as we know all the times that we would be able to record the swede and we know where as well because we were able to ask the teachers if the room was available the day we were going to record.

Logistical/production management skills

I think the management of our group was very successful because  everyone was on time and we always communicated with each other by text as we had each others numbers, which helped us keep in contact if there was any problems we would have rescheduled and then let all the group members know.

When we went and recorded the footage our group was well organised as everyone know what to do , and we also made sure all the group members were doing something as we had to meet deadline and we were successful as well because all the members had responsibilities for example some where in charge of keeping equipment's and some had to get props or keep the memory card safe, by giving everyone responsibilities lead to our group being successful.

mise en scene skills


Using one of the mise en scene factors which is costume it made it more realistic for example made the actors where wigs which made a good imitation of the actual characters from the film, so i believe that costume is a big factor.

Another important factor from the mise en scene was props as it denotes the situation for example at 54 seconds of the video we see Wayne and Garth in the restaurant, then we see food on table this denotes that its in the restaurant. mise en scene made the scene more clear.

Overall the swede of Wayne's World was successful as it does imitate the film as we have put the main scene's together, the swede contains the most important parts and has lot of humor. i also believe that we have carefully selected the most appropriate characters.

Planning edit work shop and Evaluation (single)

Introduction to edit work shop

In this blog i will describe all the planning work and describe step by step what I did and I also show my shot list and storyboard so it gives better understanding. We were asked to create an video which had specific camera techniques.

Shooting list

The shot list shows all the camera shots and helps us know what to do on the day and we also plan which bits we are going to have music and we write the script if there is dialogue in the video.

storyboard 

These are storyboards which we done so gives us an rough idea what to do in the production stage and it also helps us remember what shots to record. There are to techniques we had to use, that was match on action and shot reverse shot. we used match on action for example in the storyboard we see the police drop the files but then we have another shot of it falling on the desk, we also used shot reverse shot when the police officer and criminal where talking together.

We used various camera shots, we used an establishing shot because we wanted to show the scenery and setting this helps the audience understand where the video is taking place. Another shot we used was a long shot of the police officer as we wanted to show the person coming in and long shot helps us show the action, we also used mid show to show the upper body and we wanted to show the action  as the police officer drops the file. Another camera shot we used is close up to show something in detail for example we used a close up to show the file dropping. We used over the shoulder shot to show what the reaction of the actor.

Mise en scene was a big part as we had to dress the actors right so it made sense for example in the video you would see the criminal we made the actor wear a hoodie to connote that his the criminal and we also done the establishing shot of the police station to make the audience know where its taking place. We used both artificial and natural lighting because we thought it may make it more realistic, we also turned a school office into a interview room as we thought that it was more realistic because there was a desk. we also used one prop which was the knife as we wanted to add humor to the video because usually in a police station the criminal does not carry any weapons.

Music

The music i have chosen to use is from a program called The Bill , The Bill is a police program so the theme song would be relevant to my video as the video i have done is about police interrogation.

Production logo, Titles and Credits

This is our production logo we have chosen we called it ABI studio, ABI is the first letter of our names for example A stands for Asad, B  stands for Bleu and I stands for Ismail. Asad and Bleu are the people who i worked with for this project and we all decided on this production logo we specifically liked the color scheme we used and we thought we would be unique as we made an image of a boy sitting on a bird.

Titles

This is the title of our video we have chosen this theme color because that matches our logo and credits, we wanted dark colors because we wanted to keep it original and we liked the color scheme as a group and we also wanted it to match the logo and credits.

This is the credits, we choose this as in most video's this design is used and we wanted it to be traditional and we liked the color scheme and in the credits we have listed who done what and who it was created by.

Evaluation 

This is an evaluation on what we did for the edit workshop we were asked to create a video which had which didn’t break the 180 degree rule and had to have specific camera technique for example we had to have match on action and a shot reverse shot we also had to use the rule of thirds.

In the first version of the film of the video we broke the 180 degree rule twice, as we were editing we decided to re-record specific scene’s as we wanted the video to be perfect. We used the rule of thirds successfully as we tried are best to do so. In the video we have used match of action as we see the police officer drop the files then we have another shot of it falling on the table.

During the production we had struggles when to record because we all had different lessons which meant we had to record during media or after school, however we able to keep on track as we finished the pre- production work early which meant we had more time and during production we lacked space in the room so meant that the camera man didn’t have enough space to get the best footage, so I would defiantly think about the location space.

During the post- production we faced many challenges for example we found out that some shots were not long enough and some shot won't cleared to well, I also had problems with the sound as every time I edited the video clip the sound would go which meant me losing all the sound this meant that I had to start again because there was sound on the original video’s. If I did edit again I would make sure that during production we film longer as I learned that you can never record enough.

Overall the strengths were we good with time and we worked will in a team and we were able to see the faults and solve them, in our team we all gave opinion and we always respected each other thoughts. I think i would like working in this group as i think we worked fast and quick.

Overall as a team we have many weaknesses for example we need to make sure next time that we record in a place where there is more than enough space and I recommend that you see your work in after you done it because we made a mistake not seeing are footage before editing, we could have saved a lot of time.

Overall I think making the video long adds more meaning to the video, I would also record in a room which is not as crowded and there needs to be space for the camera man to record specific shot. Overall as team we worked well and we had good communication skills,
