Evaluation

I used a Canon 5D, Bowen Studio Lights, Boxing Gloves and 5 people.
I used the studio to shoot my final video. I used a Canon 5D camera and Bowen studio lights. I liked using the studio as the camera and lights were already there. However, we did have trouble with the camera as it had trouble focusing and some of the pictures didn't come out correctly. This was because we were taking the pictures to quickly so the camera could not focus. Sometimes, even though the lights flashed the pictures came out either to dark or to light. We ended up changing the way the camera was connected to the lights. Firstly, they were attached by a lead, but then we changed it to a wireless transmitter which worked a lot more efficiently.
My inspiration was that I really like the Rocky films and I like the song 'Eye of the tiger', so I decided to use that and make a stop frame motion video recreating a boxing fight. I tried to take as many pictures as I could so the movements flowed quickly. I am surprised how long the film lasts for considering I thought I didnt take as many pictures as I thought. I thought the video flows well bar a few parts which look a bit static and they stop and start. 
I enjoy the film a lot more now the sound effects are in because it gives the video some flare and makes it sound more fun and more is going on.
If I had to redo this video, I would of incorporated a background and probably made the 'fight' last longer and have more going on in the background instead of just a plain white background.

I felt as if it might of been quite rushed as 7 of us were in the studio sharing one camera and the shoot was done in only one day so we had to do it quite quickly.

I do like this video and I think it is quite different and fun.

    Time management next time could be better so you dont end up doing so much at the end of the assignment.
    Good video with appropriate sound effects and music to make it fun, maybe your outfits and lighting could be improved for next time...
