Reflection-

For this task we had to use all of our skills from the four previous tasks to produce, in a group of four, now 2 minute long video that depicts the feeling of the German word “Fernweh” which loosely means the desire to travel to a place that you have never been to before. We had to create this feeling on camera as well as adding Foley and sound effects, made ourselves and sourced from third party non-copyrighted websites. We then had to colour grade and edit also. All the skills we had to pull together for this task, made me realise how full scale and demanding this video was.

Evaluation-

I feel our video met the brief for this task as we showed clearly, the feelings associated with “Fernweh”, for instance we filmed in a field to show how people with the feeling of Fernweh, try to go to vast open spaces to fill their feeling of angst get out. This contrasted with the shots of Will going about his mundane life as a student, we used repetition to show this. If I were to do this task again I would possibly do the colour grading so that the colours were more vibrant certain scenes such as the field scene. I would also have recorded the sound at the same time as filming so that we got the actual sounds in the clip rather than having to recreate them.
