Reflection-

For this task we produced a 30 second video in which we had to show a change in emotion, for this we chose to show nerves turning into joy. This task was produced in a group of four, which make production easier as everyone had a job to do and we would each have a go at all aspects of production, including camera work, editing, setting up the scene and seeing up the equipment used. We used a number of different types of shots for this video, including low angled to make the two characters look powerful and high angles to make our main actor Will look powerless.

Evaluation-

We used Adobe Premier Pro for this task, which we were all familiar with. The process for this task was quite simple, as was the out come although I think this turned out very effective as you can clearly see the demotion of the shift in emotion about 25 second into the video. It was hard to keep to the 30 second time limit and show the shift effectively but using certain shots to show this, helped speed up the narrative as you do not always need to show every aspect of the change. If I were to produce this video again I would possibly use more less conventional camera angles and venture out into using new ones e.g. I would like to have a go at the Dutch tilt.
