Evaluation Task Four: Transcript

Describe the cameras used.

Lulu: Throughout the A Level Media course we used two cameras. One was called the Sony NX5 which we used in our AS year and the other was the Sony FX100.

Did you use a lens change?

Katie: We used a few different lenses for our music video. We used a slow motion lens in order to get the effective slow motion shots of the powder paint. We used the 85mm Carl Zeist lenses for the close up shots, 50mm for mid-shots, 35mm for long shots and 21mm for wide shots.

Explain the post-production process.


Claudia: After we filmed everything on the shoot day, all our footage was then transferred to a Mac computer and then edited by the Adobe Premier software. This was convergently transferred from the camera to the computer very easily and efficiently.

How have you arranged the shots using digital software?

Lulu: We used Adobe Premier to edit all of the shots together using the blade tool. We also used this software to its full potential by adding in wipes to our music video which give off a the clean-cut image we were going for.

Did you use any tools in the editing software?

Katie: We used the blade tool to make the shots seamlessly flow together and maintain continuity throughout the video. We used the render tool to link all of the shots together with the music and in order to sync up the music, we used the digital clapperboard to make syncing up the video simple and easy.
