Juno film opening task evaluation
How did the filming go?
The filming for our Juno task in my opinion was very successful. To make sure we had a perfect shot of each scene we filmed each shot twice to make sure we made it perfect. We also filmed all of our shots in the order they appear in the opening scene so that when it came to editing it was easy to find the appropriate clip. Filing was also successful because we were given an hour to film all the footage we needed and managed to get all the scenes within the time given.
Was your storyboard accurate?
The storyboard we created for the film opening I found to be very accurate. This is because when we were filming we had pour story board with us and as we had written down the specific timings and what type of shot needed to be used we were able to make good footage.
What were your strengths and weaknesses in the group?
Within my group the strengths shown were the cameraman knew how to work the camera well which meant we had good shots for the footage. Another strength in the group was we managed to finish filing in good time and we all worked very well together to make sure the filming was good and accurate.
Did you get all the footage you needed?
In my group we managed to get all of the footage that we needed. As we shot each clip twice we were able to have extra footage if one went wrong or some footage got lost. As we managed our time well it was easy to get all of the footage that we needed and managed to not miss out any clips.
What technical skills either camera or premiere did you learn? How does it compare to the original?
From this task I've learnt how to angle the camera for different types of shots. As the opening of Juno uses many different camera angles our group had to find ways of positioning the camera to make sure the shots were at the right angle. Although I did not shoot the scenes I saw how members of the team would hold the camera and walk with it whilst doing a tracking shot. I also learnt how to use camera equipment that I have not used before such as a tripod.
I gained many skills of how to use premiere for editing when I edited the dancing animals and James Bond clips. However I gained many more skills when editing our Juno task. This is because we had to make sure our version and the real version were edited to be playing at the exact same time as each other so we had to get every element of the editing correct. As the original Juno clip uses many different transitions i also learnt how to add more of them into my clips.
What went well - What i learnt - What will I take with me to the next production?
Overall in our Juno task I think we chose good and appropriate locations to film the clips. I also think we worked very well as a team together as we all had a role to play in making the task and the end result was very successful. After this task when editing future work on premiere I will have a better understanding of how to edit using the programme.

Juno film opening task
For our Juno task we were put into groups of three and asked to recreate the first minute in the film 'Juno' opening scene. In our groups one person would do the acting, one would be the cameraman and the other would help with the storyboard so that it was a team effort. Within the team we brought into school a red hoodie which is the main piece of clothing in the opening scene and a half empty milk cartoon as that also features in the opening scene. We borrowed cameras from the school and used areas around and outside of school for filming.
Media Talk - Pete Fraser
Today we had an interesting 2 hour talk with Pete Fraser about film openings. Pete spoke to us about top tops for film openings and how we can achieve good grades witin our own film openings. He went through a power point inlcuding things such as what a good film opening includes and how to plan a good film opening. He also told us ways of making sure our film opening does not look like a trailer or short film.
Pete then showed us a few examples of students film openings and we rated them from level 1-4 based on the camerawork, editing and sound. He told us how the film openings which achieved level 1 or 2 could have improved their film openings and how we could use those possible improvements in our film openings. Pete taught us that it is very important to conisder every possible factor when making a film opening.
