Assessment #01
I started my video with my brief bio data, then I told about my interest and passion, what I want to be in the future, I want to become a film director and then told about few of my inspirations who are famous youtubers Sam Kolder and Peter Mackinnon, other than that I’ve Christopher Nolan and Sanjay leela bhansali as my ideal film directors. In past 2 years I’ve been practicing video making and film making, by covering events and producing my own content as well, I showed a 10 second glimpse of my work, then I also have love for music and travelling and recently I visited Turkey and UAE.
I used variety of shots for B-rolls but for A-roll I took one single take with mid shot composition, the main hurdle I came across was the audio as I had to mix live audio with some music and had to synchronize shots according to that, this way a key job, but I think I did my best, especially in that 10 second glimpse. Other than that in my b-rolls I used wide angle shots, extreme long shots, medium long shots, mid shots, medium close up and close ups. Panning and tilting mobility was also there. For me, as I’m a bit camera conscious person it’s a tough job to face the camera and speak but I tried my level best to do this, although at in some parts my eyes were rolling and not matching the camera level, but I’ll try to improve that in future. The challenges I encountered were not much but while recording my A-roll (self introduction) there was echo in the audio due to the room ambience, this was quite ugly while editing. Other than that I think I could have made this video more interesting by adding more b-rolls and framing it out of a good story-line. There’s one personal thing I want to share, when I had to record this video I was having a flu and my throat was not in well condition so my voice was also very bad, that’s what I feel.
