EvaluationThe eight shot journey went a lot smoother than I thought it would’ve gone. I’ve experience shooting short films before they have all been longer than a thought. This however was quicker, the first film we did went well up until the end and the second film we managed to get out of the way even quicker.
The ending of the first film was a bit frustrating and we were getting inpatient. The last shot we did was set in a place, where it involved some people going in and out of doors. So we had to wait for people to go through, see if the coast was clear and shoot again. Although because this takes time it wasn’t long before someone went through a door and walked in to shot. This happened over and over again until eventually we had a shot which didn’t involve people walking in shot. Overall it took us eight takes to do this one shot.
The second movie we did, which was mine, went smoother than the other one. The reason for this was, it was set in locations which were not crowded and at the time we did it, which was mid afternoon and at that time there wasn’t much people about. Didn’t have any problem shooting the shot but because of the location I had to reinvent shots, which was no trouble because it led to better ideas. Which involved taking shots from higher angles which had a better effect.
Editing on a new piece of software was a challenge. To begin with it was a fiddle but the longer we spent on it the easier it got. We did begin with a big problem, my partner didn’t stripe his tape so I had to help him log his clips manually because when we filmed the first film we had a long break in-between because it was lunch time. This meant that when we continued with filming, the time codes changed and was split in two separate halves of film. This took longer than usual and took up time. When it came to editing my film it took know time at all because I’ve had experience in editing, I used a program called adobe premier which is similar to final cut pro but just not as advanced. So it went well.
What I’ve learnt is you don’t know what to expect, so make sure be prepared in any situation. Overall I thought the eight shot journey went well and I enjoyed it.

Camera
Is a device that records images, either as a still photograph or as moving images known as videos or movies. The term comes form the camera obscure (Latin for dark chamber.), an early mechansium of projecting images where an entire room functioned as real time imaging system; the modern camera evolved from the camera obscura.
Shutter
In photography, a shutter is a device that allows light to pass for a determined period of time, for the purpose of exposing photographic film or a light - sensitive electronic sensor to light to capture a permanent image of a scene.

Aperture
In optics, an aperture is a hole or a opening through which light travels. In phototography this can be measured in increments called f stops.
Lens
The of a camera captures the light from the subject and brings it to focus on the film or detector.
Exposure control
The size of the apeture and the brightness of the scene controls the amount of light that enters the camera during a period of time, and the shutter controls the length of time that the light hit's the recording surface. Equivalent exposures can be made with a larger aperture and a faster shutter speed or a coresponding smaller aperture and with the shutter speed slowed down.
