Practical Skills
My specialism is screenwriting therefore i will massively need to be focusing on certain narrative techniques like using very realistic language and dialogue and by using voiceovers. These narrative techniques will massively help me film my short film and will show the skills that i have learnt and that i can use these that ive seen in other productions to compare to mine. In one of the screen grabs above you can see how i use a pre recorded video footage of the winning lottery results.By doing this i can show that i have really won the lottery as i can select the winning numbers after the show was aired on TV. This will really help me show a massive sense of realism as it seems very live and as its happening. There are certain editing techniques that i have learnt like using video transitions and effects to help me cover up certain issues with filming that i had made and by using these effects it will help make my production flow a lot smoother and will help keep the viewers attention. Voice overs have been a massive part of my production as i felt like by using these it has helped me explain my narrative and has given my character a more believable personality and story, this will help my target audience connect with this character and feel more for him as they may be able to relate to this certain dream and situation. I also used music over certain scenes to make sure that the viewers attention is constant and they wont get bored. This use of music has helped me massively raise the suspense and tension in my production. I also used time stamps that are massively entertaining and are well known to my target audience. This has contributed to my final edit as it has helped me cover up certain moments where i didn't have enough footage.
