Evaluation

In this assignment we were asked to created a stop motion video, also we had to research different videos to give us an idea of what we could do.
We were asked to create a blogger account were we were able to upload pieces of work, and research ideas that we had looked at. After we had done this we were asked to look at different stop motion videos on the internet, to give us a brief idea of what we could do, we had to then upload the ones we viewed and write about what we likes about it. We then went into the studio as a class and done a few stop motions to give us an idea of how to use all the equipment and to show us how to do the lighting in the studios in case we wanted to do our final stop motion in the studio. To do this we had to set the camera and lighting to how we wanted and then we set the background using cloths, then we got people to move slightly as we took a picture and so on. After we had shot these, we uploaded the images to the computers and put them onto I movie where we were able to change the speed that the images went at, and we could put our own music to it to make it more appealing. After this we then shot our own videos, i chose to do mine in the studio. I set the camera and lighting up, and then set the background to how i wanted it, and go some people out of my class to be in the shots to make my video work.
While shooting my images some how they were erased from the camera, so then i had dropped behind on my work, and it was quite difficult to catch up. This also meant that i had to re-shoot and therefore i had to take people away from doing their own work to help me complete mine. So if i have to do this assignment again i will back up my work so that it doesn't get lost.
In conclusion, during this assignment i learnt about time management, due to having to put all of my images together and changed the speed they went at. Also i learnt how to use a tripod, when shooting i used a tripod so that my camera didn't move and there wasn't camera shake when i had take the images. I also learnt research skills and how to comment on other peoples work, saying what i like and i think they could improve on being set this assignment again.
