Transcription Project- Filming

I found the filming of my project rather enjoyable. I wanted to capture as many different daily activities as I possibly could so I had a lot of material to work with. I also experimented with different camera shots/angles, taking them from different perspectives to capture activities differently.

The daily activities that I wanted to include consisted of:

• Waking up
• Showering
• brushing teeth
• Shaving
• Eating breakfast
• going to work
• coming home
• having dinner
• watching tv
• going to bed

Editing:

I decided to edit my film on Final cut pro, as I have a lot of experience on it and it also allows more options, in terms of editing, than other programmes. I found it hard cutting down the film to 1 minute as I had a lot of footage that I wanted to include. I used a soundtrack to play over my film, which was 'Rappers Delight' by the sugar hill gang, i found that it adds a happy/upbeat vibe to the film, which makes the whole thing more comical. 

Here is the link to my final film:

Crit

Overal all members in my crit said that they really enjoyed my film and found it rather comical. However some suggested that I could change the music so my piece was more surreal like, however this was an option that i had thought about, but wanted to experiment and approach a more comical side to surrealism. I was also told that I had used a good variation of camera shots which made my piece more interesting.
