We recently handed in our digital artefact in for 'Beyond the Camera' and after a stressful day of getting it all together I was glad to be finished with it! The fact we left it last minute made me realise that with practical projects especially, it is definitely best planning ahead and doing it days before the deadline as things can go wrong randomly when playing around with software and it creates a stressful environment.
Capturing our own images and sounds were something really important to us as we wanted to make as much of this project 'ours' as possible and I really enjoyed going round taking photographs with an actor and creating our story. On reflection it was much easier to take our own images because we could get it exactly the way we wanted. However recording our own sound was harder because we didn't have the equipment to record sound in a clear way so we had to use sounds off the internet on the whole. If we were going to do it again we would definitely try harder to get more sounds of our own.
The process of piecing it all together went quite well. Using After Effects was easy for me after the tutorial and I was happy that I felt so confident using it. I will definitely go online and get some more tutorials to learn more as I realise that it is a useful skill to have.
I was proud of the final product because it looked extremely professional and I was surprised that just 2 students like us had produced it!
