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 !
