Juno

Our task was to recreate the opening scene to the movie 'Juno'. We completed the task in groups of three. We had to create a storyboard of the shots we needed to include, film the different shots and then edit them.

Evaluation

I think that my storyboard was accurate to an extent because I included some of the frames and camera movements used. However, I did not include these on all of the shots. I included the duration of each shot and action in the shot. I could have included some more details in terms of Mise en Scene as I have not included key icons and props on every shot. For some shots I have included the transitions that I would need to include in the editing process, but again, not for every shot.
To improve I would include maximum detail for every shot on the storyboard including: the frames and camera movements, Mise en Scene and the editing effects needed.

I think that the filming process went very well. My group worked together very effectively and we completed the filming process promptly. We persevered well with the limited props and locations available to us. One of my group's strengths was our ability to work together and share all of the responsibilities equally. We were all actively doing a task at all times.

We did manage to get all of the shots that we needed but needed to cut some of the shots up and film them in sections so that we could get all of the key icons from the original video in our own shots, and at the right angles. In some places the filming was a little bit shaky. To improve we could use a tripod to keep the camera steady and therefore improve the quality of the footage.

I learnt how to do many things in Adobe Premiere Pro while completing this task. Firstly, how to place another video in the corner of the screen. I also learnt how to edit the effects that I included in my video. I was able to edit the intensity of the cartoon effect (Find Edges) that I used and was able to change the direction of the wipe transitions that I included.
