Evaluation 

Overall, I believe my film was very successful. However, I do believe that it had its faults, like most films. The main problem we had whilst shooting the film was that due to the fact it was night time, our image often came out extremely noisy and grainy, and we also encountered another problem where people kept walking onto the ‘set of the film’, we overcame this by having people in our group to stand at each side of the underpass and ask people to wait whilst we got the shot. A strong point of our film was the editing, I believe some of the transitions worked extremely well. However, I believe that our film was quite confusing to some people at times, it was hard to rectify this, as a group we knew exactly what we wanted to convey, however the audience didn’t. I believe some of the shots also looked extremely good too, this was because of the Steadicam which we used, the music selected by Kieran and I also worked really well, and I was able to edit the film to the shots, and cut with the beat of the song, which looked great. For the first film I have ever created, I am extremely happy with how it turned out, but I also know I can improve on it and definitely make some of the shots look cleaner.

Do geese see god- film synopsis Taylor is an ordinary adult on the way home from work. Upon reaching his house to park his car, he notices a tent obstructing his path. Filled with curiosity he gets in the tent and zips it up so that no one sees him. When he re-opens the tent to get out, a large gust of wind hits his face and he realises he is now in a different location. After getting out of the tent he discovers a note pinned to a tree. The note informs him that the tent is the only way back to where he started. After having multiple experiences of the tent changing location, Taylor finds his own car keys hanging off a branch in some woods. Confused and shocked, as he has never been there before, he walks forward to pick them up but hears footsteps behind him, it turns out the person behind him is actually himself, getting in the tent. Because Taylor has altered with the environment and done things in an irregular way, the paradox has been broken and this is why he sees himself. Tay...

Shoot 3 shots and editing drone shot This drone shot was extremely hard to perform as i had to fly it backwards under a fallen tree which although wasn't very high, the shape of it as well as the hanging branches made it difficult to fly through and get the shot.  Colour grading- i had to colour grade this shot slightly different compared to the other shots, because the drone isn't as good in low light compared to a camera. I had to de-noise the image using the median tool, and i had to increase the shadows much more than i usually would. Shot of keys + meaning explained The meaning of the keys and why they are shown so obviously is because the object acts as a Macguffin, the character always checks to have the keys, and if he doesn't then he knows something is wrong. I added a humming sound effect when he picks up the keys to highlight the importance of the object, picking up the keys in turn broke the paradox, which is why he sees himself get in the tent...

Film opening https://youtu.be/rAYNhlvxehY Editing techniques Mask transition Track the object which you want to mask frame by frame using the free draw bezier, after each frame press the arrow positioned in the effect controls to advance the clip forward by one frame, continue this process until the whole clip has been masked away and the next clip is underneath. Some options can be altered after the edit is complete, increasing the feather makes the line seem smoother and more natural. I got the inspiration for this transition from Pan's labyrinth. After working out how to apply the transition to basic objects, i applied it to more complex ones such as a shoe, i may also look to do it inside a tent, so when the tent opens, the next shot follows from outside. Colour grading For the colour grade, i usually (depending on the shot) increase the warmth of the image as i find this much more appealing than a cooler look. Then i adjust the exposure of the shot, altering shadow...
