Evaluation of Culture show.

We recently made a small installment of the BBC's Culture Show. In our programme we had to talk about the college before we would interview another student participating in our Creative and Media course. When editing our short film we used Final Cut Pro, Motion and Soundtrack Pro and Filmed it with Sony A1E cameras.
The SonyA1E cameras were brilliant. We were really lucky to use the cameras because they are fantastic quality and really expensive so i decided to present our piece instead of being the clumsy camera man and drop it. We found out about that the white balance would change if you filmed out of a window it would change to blue, we found this out when editing our video.
This is what we found out about filming: Composition is the placement of objects in the frame. The rule of thirds or 'center of intrest' is when you place your film into a 3x3 grid. The looking space is the place where the presenter is looking: this makes the picture less constricted and give the audience an awarness of the space and whats going on around them. Horizontal lines create stabillity and Verticals create strengh while Diagonal lines create a sense of drama. Lastly, Motion space is the empty space on the side where the subjects is walking, which heightens the feeling of emotion. 
When editing the vidoe we used final cut pro. I found this hardest part of the project and needed help from John. I reallly liked using Motion and Soundtrack. In motion we made a cool title for our show and took it a step up but making the soundtrack was my faourite part. I'm really intrested in  making music so I was really kean to contribute to the soundtrack. At first found it a sruggle to find a relevant tune to match the programme but I'm really pleased with the soundtrack.
We have uploaded our video on to youtube and I am very excited to see our project on their but I'm not too keen on people seeing my terrible side parting at one point in the video. Here is our completed project.
