How to make a video?

In our lesson today, we watched a DVD how to make our own video for when we film our opening sequence. From this I wrote notes on what we need to include and what we need to take into consideration before and after filming our sequence.

Pre-production

We need to work out the roles of each person. In the making of films a lot of people are involved including: 

•  Executive Producer
• Director
• Writer
• Production manager
• Camera Operator
•  Lighting Director
• Sound Technician
• Actors
• Editor

All of the people above have different roles in the production of any film.

We also need to make a shot list. This is made up of the following things:

• Where we should shoot our sequence
• The time needed to shoot it
• The different camera angles
• The date we need to film by  

Post Production

 We also need to take into consideration of the purpose of our opening sequence, our target audience and our limitations of what we can and can't do. Here are a list of points we need to remember when filming our opening sequence.

• Shooting of the project
• Time Management
• Quality control (image, sound, performance)
• Potential conflict between limitations
