Once i started filming my Project Brief 3 i found that there were gonna be some problems. These were the lighting, camera lens i used and sound of cars in the background. The lighting was hard because i was using all naturalistic lighting in my garage. But as the sun went down i found that the lighting was changing and the frame was getting darker and darker. Shadows had formed and this is where the lens i used was arising problems. Since i used a 50mm lens which is quite up close and personal to the subject, there wasn’t that much light being let in and being show even when i changed the aperture. Therefore I got a light from my house and shined it on the subject. It looked different than original work, but i thought that it’d have to do. Then the sound of cars driving by my house was being picked up in the H2N Zoom, which was easily fixed by closing the garage door, but it still gave me a scare. In post production the clips that had different lighting were too noticeable so i went back and re shot my interviewee, luckily they were happy to do it. The most successful parts of the film was how easy the subject answered questions and was willing to make up things to say when need be.

The creative side to my film is using painting equipment to express my subjects qualities. I found that using a narrative and informative side in producing self portraits are helpful and make things much more interesting for the viewer. Another learning discovery that i found was being able to use more than one camera so you could get simultaneous footage, which you could alternate within the post production process. The main things that i learnt in the the whole project was to save your work on Adobe Premier, since i lost my work a couple times. To also have a back up of your footage saved on your computer so later you can refer to it and make sure you reference all the found footage and websites. Because i found some found footage that i didn’t reference at the start of the week and then when it came to the credits it took me a while to find it again. However it was a good learning point and thing to do in a project rather than in a major film. Also a thing that i found was a hard choice to make was what music to use, because when i went through all the creative commons music it was electronic, house, or up beat acoustic. Then i found a relaxing piano score, i thought that it would too relaxing but when i used it with the visual and narration it synced just right. It’s good to note that music may not sound amazing on its own, but when its involved with visual and other audio it can create something special.
