Me-vid Evaluation.

PRE-PRODUCTION
During this pre production I became more creative as my imagination furthered more by how I have filmed. This made me become more independent as I was left to film alone and gather all that I needed to for my me-vid to be complete. I felt that I became more relaible on myself and had to use what I knew already to further what needed to be done for my me-vid to be filmed.

Microsoft Excel

The post production skills i learnt during my me-vid was how to script which enabled me to know what I'm doing for the shots and who will be in my me-vid and also where I'm recording it. I learnt that I had to sort things out for myself in order to complete the given task and this was getting the people in which i needed to record with, the places i had to record and the time at which all the recording was needed to be finished by. This helped me managed to meet my deadlines as everything was already i border for me to do. Here you can see the script I created to help me with my filming. From my script you can see that my intro corresponds to what my intro is in my video.

Final Cut Express And Live Type

During this production i have learnt how to use live type which animates fonts and also final cut express which is the program I used to edit my me-vid to get the finished video. I learnt how to also sort out my 10 key moments during my life for which was needed. Final cut express allowed me to edit my 10 key life moments in order to help complete my me-vid. Final Cut Express was new to me and this is quite easy to use however it took a long time to upload and import different files onto the software. I had furthered my work and research through final cut which has improved the quality of my work from using a better software for editing.
PRODUCTION SKILLS

Green Screen

A production skill i learnt was to use a green screen which would enable me to be in anywhere in a background, this is something new that i learnt because it has been my first time using a green screen in a piece of media work. This is the first time that I would hvae used a green screen and edited a background for a place that i'd like to me. The green screen used enabled me to further my media  production with creativity. The green screen was a creative idea to be used as it could show that I can think of things to do for myself for me to be placed of filmed where I need to be.

Save Tube

I learnt how to download and get videos from you-tube the safe way using  which allowed me to download them legally.
(http://www.savetube.com/)me to download the full file with no errors. I also learnt how to add music to my me-vid to make it sound better rather than just having natural sound throughout the whole piece. Save tube where it legally allowed em to download my you-tube videos that were needed to be used.
POST PRODUCTION

Live Type
During the post production  learnt how to make graphics and words using Live type to make my media work seem more interesting and appealing this can make the word move, change font size and shape. Live type is good because you can animate the words on top of a picture to make it look better. This program allows me to have animated fonts and backgrounds. On live type I made different words and backgrounds to go on the photos to show who the people and this is also at the start and end of the being the intro and the outro with credits to show who took part and was in the video. The title below shows where I shows where my me-vid starts to begin the piece of footage. The image above shows my me-vid 

Live Type Effect

This shows an effect used used on live type to make the word come differently to make it if look better as an animation has been added. This animation was added to show more interest and detail within the work and is also on an image to show who and what the image is or is about.

Final Cut Express

Another post production skill i learnt was how to use a new software called final cut express to edit my me-vid on this is better than i movie because it is more open to option in the way you can edit the files and change the effects and graphics. This is also good because you can slow down the pace of the video, change photo size and put videos in reverse. This editing software is more advanced than i movie which was used for my encounter video as it also allows you to edit green screens.  The image above shows a screen grab from final cut           of me and my brother playing xbox from a screen in final cut.

NEW SKILLS I HAVE LEARNT
I learnt how to create a script for my work which did help me with the order that things needed to be done in order to finish the video.

I learnt how to use final cut express which is a new software to me as i'm used to using windows movie maker or i movie.

Live type is also new to me because i would normally use normal text from the software i'm using to edit which may not have the best graphics and effects.
