Evaluating your role in CVS Promotional Video

1. What were you asked to do?
In this task we were asked to develop and make a promotional video for a Redbridge CVS charity which was given to us by are teacher. My group were given the group called "Ubuntu Arts"

2/3.What were you making a video about?
Our purpose was to make a promotional video for the charity highlighting what they do and who they helpinthe communities.

4.What Did you do in each stage of production?
- Pre-Production
In pre-production i was busy planning thinking of question that i could discuss with the charity. The question that were developed were designed to get as much information as we could out of the charity in the short amount of time. In the build up to production we had to assign eachother roles and follow them to make a successful unit. Before we interviewed the charity we had to do our own research to be more aware on their work and issues they cover.
-Production
In production we interview three canidates that help run "Ubuntu Arts" there names were Lynda, Fozie and Robin. Me and a fellow team mate interviewed the three in depth about the charity, i was amazed with the information that was given to me thanks to Lynda. Every question i asked was complimented with a good 5-10 mintue reply to help give us depth information abou "Ubuntu Art". The main thing we extracted from the conversation is the benifts the charity gives to artist to help them express there creativity and thoughts.
-Post Production
After filiming the interview we started editing clips the next lesson. The first part of the editing was mainly uploading clips and putting them in order, we done these two things first because they took a large amount of time. After the long process was over we finally made the video. We added music and adjusted the footage to make our promotional video look good we also had to add credits to help give additional information this piece of work took us three lessons to develop.

5. What problems did you encounter?
As a group we did not have any problems to be perfectly honest, everything that we needed to do flowed smoothly and we never fell behind on any part off production in fact we were one of the groups that were ahead of the other classmates giving us a advantage.

6. What were you strengths and weaknesses in each stage?
i believe that are strongest stage was production because we were very efficent as a group and professional about our work which was illustrarted in our work. Our Weakness had to be post-production due to the lack of concentration i believe that we finished later than we should.

7. What is your opinion of the finished product?
i believe that the finished product is well put together and the public will learn from this niche charity located in Redbridge just like how we learned from them. If our video gets a lot of views i believe that the  "Ubuntu Arts" will benefit  very much.

 Getting More out Of Your Camera

 Exposure

Exposure is the anount of light which is collected by the sensor in your camera in a single picture.
If a shot is exposed for too long then it looks washed out. (Example to the left)

 This is the same picture but with no expure, this picture is not affected and really doen't need exposure.

 This is a picture that has exposure on low and it makes the picture really dark and unappealing to viewers

 Flash
A flash is a device used in photography producing a flash.
The picture to your right is a poor use of flash as the reflective surface is highlighting the light. Flash should only be used in dark atmospheres and if the subject is close.

 With no flash on the reflective object it only shows what is front of the object.

In the pictures taken the flash affect was used to show the difference between flash and no flash. In the picture to your right we see the object with digital light being shown as it reflect of her eyes more than the picture below.

In the picture to your left we the same object with no flash which help proove that flash wasn't needed in this image.

White Balance
"White balance (WB) is the process of removing unrealistic color casts, so that objects which appear white in person are rendered white in your photo.
(AWB) — and can create unsightly blue, orange, or even green color casts. Understanding digital white balance can help you avoid these color casts, thereby improving your photos under a wider range of lighting conditions."
This function did not damage my work but it made my pictures very decieving, it was hard for viewrs to guess the time period due to the lighting

Colour Mode
Allows a photographer to be able to make the picture warmer,cooler, sepia, black and white just by changing the tint.
My pictures were not damaged by this color mode but it was seen as unsightly to other views eyes.

In the picture taken (right hand side) displays a playground with the colour effect, the affect makes it hard for the viewer to acknowledge what type of weather is being shown.

Auto Focus
Auto focus relates to which part of the subject you want your camera to focus on.
Autofocus systems rely on one or more sensors in the camera to determine correct focus. Some AF in other cameras systems rely on a single sensor, while others use an array of sensors.
In more expensive cameras like SLR Cameras they use through-the-lens optical AF sensors, with a separate sensor array providing light metering.

Through-the-lens optical autofocusing is now often faster and more precise than can be achieved manually with an ordinary viewfinder which is in cheaper cameras.

Some AF cameras are able to detect whether the subject is moving towards or away from the camera, including speed and acceleration data, and keep focus on the subject. A function used mainly in sports and other action photography. On Canon cameras this is known as AI servo, while on Nikon cameras it is known as "continuous focus".

Burst
Burst is a shooting mode in still cameras, most of the digital cameras have single-lens reflex which allow several photographs to be captured in quick succession by either single pressing the shutter button or holding it down.
This is used mainly in mixed-light conditions or when the subject is in successive motion, such as sports.

successive photographs can be captured depends on a variety of factors, mainly the processing power of the camera. Disabling certain features such as post processing which the camera applies automatically after capturing each image will usually allow a faster rate of capture.
While some cheaper point and shoot cameras may have a multi-image burst function which allows them to capture a certain amount of frames within a second with a single shutter button press

More expensive cameras like SLR cameras will will continue to actuate the shutter for as long as the button is held down, until the memory card is full or the battery runs out

The picture i have  taken have not been damaged and help iilustrate the technique to the fullest using the burst mode.
