Evaluation of Task
This project tasked us to remake a Brooklyn 99 Style Intro with our own footage and editing. We initially filmed the footage in groups however did post production by ourselves. I believe this project went well as I ended with an Intro which is easily resembles that of the Brooklyn 99 one.
During this task I used a few skills such as masking and colour skills in premiere pro and camera skills when it came to recording. I also used some award worthy acting when we were creating the footage (I wish).
The skills I found that were challenged in this project were my camera skills because I do not know my way around a DSLR camera the best so I did not know how to change the focus. This resulted in our footage all being really unfocused making it harder to edit - because of the blur - and less enjoyable to watch.
If we were to carry out the production of this task again I would make sure to check the focus of the camera to ensure that there is no blur on the footage and it is of the highest quality.
If we were to do this task again, In post production I would spend more time on the lower third title boxes as in the current video I believe I added too much blur to the box causing it to look a bit funny.
During the group portion of this task I believe I worked well to contribute my ideas and listen to others to make sure everyone got to express their ideas to help make the intro the best possible.
When it came to post production, we had to work Independently; I got on well working independently and I could move at my own pace and experiment with ideas that other people in a group might like to steer away from in order to stay safe and save time, sticking to the absolute basic idea for the task.
Overall in this project out of all the parts, my favourite part was the overall editing. I enjoyed this the most as I enjoyed seeing the video come together and go from three separate pieces of footage, eventually combining into one piece with colour and effects.
I learned and Improved skills in this project which I could use in order to help ensure my future projects are of a high standard. An example of this is the masking skill, this can be used during future videos projects in premiere pro or photoshop. Another skill I learnt how to do was focus the camera (A bit to late for this project) which will ensure that any photography or other video work I do will be of high quality. Overall this project has helped me to build and develop skills in which I will use and need for other projects in the future.

Photography basic analysis
Basic Analysis 1
I am analysing this piece of Urban Photography by Henry Hwu.
This photography captures a person covered in black clothing and surrounded by a black night time sky.
In this photograph I really like the contrast of colours. The subject of the photograph is primarily wearing black clothes which is complimented by the night time sky however contrasted by the bright white of the walkway the person is standing on. It is almost like the white represents goodness.
In the back
ground of the photograph you can see a silhouette of what looks to be a tree. I like this as it adds a bit of detail into the photo.
I dislike the text which is placed directly into the middle of the photograph because it almost implies that the photo is an advert, removing peoples want to be curious about the photo.
Basic Analysis 2
I am analysing this piece of Urban Photography by Henry Hwu.
This photograph shows the city of Dubai and what appears to be a droplet with a inverted reflection of the same landscape.
In this photo I really like how clearly the subject stands out. This is done because they have blurred out the background which leaves the subject (the droplet) in clear view.

Photography advanced analysis
Advanced Analysis 1
Photography by Henry Hwu
In this photo there is a woman which appears to be crossing a road.
This photo comes with no context. I believe that this is a good thing because it allows for people to perceive what the woman is doing differently.
The lighting levels of this shot are very continuous and it is lit the same across everything. This helps to indicate the woman is in a outside location
I really like that the framing of the photo includes it being taken from above. This allows the audience of the photo to see the main subject of the photo - the woman - and the environment around her.
Framing
Framing
Rule of Thirds
Rule of thirds photography is where the picture is split up into three rows of three to make up a total of nine segments. Where the lines join around the middle segments are the key focus point for where people tend to look first in a photo. This is why framing important things at that point is key. Most Camera's and Phones have a feature which allows you to put a grid on the viewer. In this photo Thomas' hand is on one of the points, along with the bin which clearly shows the the viewer he is going to throw the item he is holding into the bin.
With rule of thirds you should use it to split the horizon and give space to a photo.
Central Framing
Central Framing is where the main subject of the photo is framed and focused on directly in the middle of the photo. This type of framing can often be used in sad situations to show a person alone flodded with emotion. In this photo we are focusing on the subject ascending stairs alone, you do not see the face allowing for people to imagine the situation.
Frame in Frame
Frame In Frame is where in the photo you use a physical frame within a the framed photo.
Foreground/ Mid-ground / Background
This type of show consists of something in each part of the frame. In this photo the bin is in the foreground, the people in the Mid-Ground and the Building in the background.
