My Shooting Script
For the first shot i choose i nice location on the second floor with a beautiful background full of trees.
For the second shot I am in a park and the camera is shot at a low angle showing my lower body only, i felt it was a good decision as i was doing kick ups and wanted to focus on that only.
For the third shot I had to get some footage off youtube of Zidane's goal in the champions league final in 2002, therefore i wasn't in this shot.
For the forth shot I put the camera on the ground and got a good shot of me and the ball from far away, I then kicked the ball at the camera and made it fall to the ground facing the sky. I felt this was a very good shot for a near closing scene.
For the last shot i am back where i started off on the second floor giving a little goodbye speech to end the video.

Review Report - Task 6
The past 5 weeks at college i have learnt a lot about the course, I believe that as of right now i have completed every task successfully, some on time and some a little late.
The teachers have taught me how to use and create a mind map on the website Prezi, they have also taught me how to create a blog and post me work on it, I also learnt how to record with a camera using the 5 shot rule and much more.
For the first week the teachers helped us create our own blogs on blogger. I had to design it and post my first blog which was very simple and easy to do. I had to evaluate a advert video, in my case i chose the english language advert of the german guy.
For the second week we had to write a script for our video profiles and plan out the whole video and chose what shots and locations we were going to use. I chose to talk about a football legend called Zidane. That week we also learned how to use the 5 shot sequence which was Hands, Face, Wide Shot, Over the shoulder and last was a creative shot of our own choice.
For the third week I had to go out and record all the footage for my video profile, we had to do this in pairs so me and Tom decided to help eachother out. Since I had to record Tom's footage I felt that this was the time that I had to show off my skills and I honestly think i done well as he was very satisfied with the results.
All footage was recorded around the college premises as we wern't aloud to take them home so therefore i had to use my iphone4 later on which i was very suprised by the amazing quality.
For the fourth week we had to edit all the footage we had recorded and put them into one whole sequence, I done this by using the editing software Final Cut which the teacher helped us with a lot as we hadn't had any experience using it. At first it was difficult but then i got the hang of it. I learnt how to add music, cut clips and much more. By the end of that week i had finished by video profie and was very happy with the results.
For the fifth week we had to post our video profiles on our blogs and get atleast 5 people to comment on them and leave some feedback. I had gotten 6 comments and they were all very informative as they pointed out the good and bad bits and told me how i could have done better to improve which was very helpful.
I also had to write an evaluation for my video profile by using all the feedback i got from my classmates.
Overall i'd say it was a very successful 5 weeks and i feel that i have learnt a lot and can not wait to come back after halfterm to work on some more projects !

My Video Profile Evaluation
Video Profile Evaluation – Task 4
Everyone seemed to have enjoyed my video profile on Zinedine Zidane, there were both positive and negative feedback but I’d say overall I did a pretty good job.
Most of the people said that it was very informative and they liked how I talked about his whole career from very start when he signed for Cannes till the very end when he head butted Marco Materazzi.
They also felt that the music choice was really good as it made them feel quite emotional and therefore made the story telling much more interesting.
Someone also mentioned that they thought that the camera shots and angles were very creative. Such as the slow motion clip of me doing kick ups.
I am most proud of the scene of me shooting the ball at the camera and making it fall to the ground facing the sky. One reason why is because it took a lot of attempts to get it right and therefore it was very time consuming and a lot of work, but you know what they say ‘hard work always pays off’. Second reason is that while I commentate over the clip I end the clip as soon as the ball hits the camera and everything starts to get serious because Zidane’s career is coming to an end giving the audience a different feeling.
As much as I appreciate all the nice and positive feedback there were also a couple of negative comments that I felt were true and I could have done better.
For example, Ilia said that although he felt it was a really great video of Zidanes career he thought that I should have related it to myself in a way and I absolutely agree. I guess I was focused on getting as much as information as possible to talk about Zidanes career that I actually forgot to talk about myself and mention my interests and hobbies etc…
There is a lot of room for improvement, first of all I think that my video profile was a little too long and I would like to shorten it from 4 minutes 16 seconds to at least 2-3 minutes.
Second, I would of liked to be involved in my video profile and talk about myself a little more.
I could make it more professional by getting a better quality camera and microphone.
Commercially produced videos have a higher budget and therefore can afford to get better equipment, which is usually expensive. They also get professional actors and get to go to better locations which also costs money.
