CCR Question #3 – How My Production Skills Developed 

The third Creative Critical Reflection question I researched today concerned the way my production skills emerged when we were making our film. When starting this project, most of us were still mastering the art of using camera angles, lighting and shot composition properly. As we filmed more, however, we came to understand these techniques better. During the film production of Case 48, I managed to acquire some key film production skills.

 

The first significant competency that I gained was the ability to see how various camera shots can influence the meaning of a scene. To illustrate this point, we utilized close-up shots when interviewing people to make the scenes look more serious and intimate. These kinds of shots enable the viewer to concentrate on the feelings and responses of the characters. We also tried various angles and framing styles so that each scene would be more interesting to look at.

 

Editing was another crucial skill that enhanced in the production process. When we were editing our footage, we learned about the ability of pacing to vary the experience of the story by the audience. Switching between shots and sound included contributed to the feeling of professionalism and involvement of the film. Editing also assisted us to eliminate errors and arrange the clips in a way that makes the story of Case 48 easily readable.  

In general, the assignment on this project allowed me to acquire some valuable production skills. I was able to develop technical skills as I progressed through the project, starting with learning to frame shots correctly and concluding with the learning of the editing process. These abilities were used to add to the overall quality and professionalism of our film.
