Single Camera Production

Single Camera Production is when you only have a single camera, things that use single camera production are usually on a low budget such as; music videos, sitcoms, prime time dramas and commercial advertisements.

Advantages of Single Camera Production

• You only have to carry around one camera and you don't need to bother about multiple cameras
• Cheaper to use a single camera rather than having multiple cameras 
• More flexibility as it is easier to gather all the shots together because your only using one camera 
• Easier to set up/Take down 
• You can rent cameras from companies instead of buying one 

Disadvantages of Single Camera Production

• You have to move the camera and keep setting it back up every time you film a different scene
•  If the camera is damaged/broken all of your work might be lost as you didn't film it on any other cameras 
• Too time consuming as you have to keep moving the camera around 
• Can be hard to reproduce scenes which would be easier to overcome if using multiple cameras 

Features of Single Camera Production

Single camera productions can easily be linear as well as non-linear as the scenes are normally filmed in sections rather than flowing which is what multi camera productions do.

How I would of used single camera production in my animation
I would of used single camera production at the start of my animation but I could not find the right background that was relevant for my animation.

Evaluation For Evolution

The theme of the project
The theme of this project was to create an animation/video of the evolution of something

How I have developed my work throughout the project
At first I was going to do the evolution of football then I realized that I didn't have many plans for this idea.
Next I moved on to that and started looking into some animations on the evolution of soldiers and thought this would be a good idea.
I was going to originally do this as a video but then I thought that this would take me too long to do, so instead of doing a video I did it as a animation.
I also changed the theme of the evolution I decided instead of soldiers I would do the evolution of weapons. I did this because it would of taking too long to do the evolution of soldiers and I might not have gotten the work finished in time for the deadline.

How much research have I looked at that I thought was relevant
I have looked at various videos on YouTube that are relevant to what I have done in my animation and the videos that I looked at gave me ideas to go on and do the evolution of weapons.
I also looked at other relevant material that helped me get ideas so I could go on and get started with the animation.

Videos that I have looked at
These are some of the videos I looked to help me with some ideas.

How my skills have developed through this project
My skills in creating animations through Photoshop has improved throughout this project.

Have I used any principles of animation such as perspective and timing?
I haven't really used perspective in my animation but I have used timing because it is key that I get the timing right in the animation.

Problems that I had
I had some problems with Photoshop in exporting the video as it did not work properly when it was exported.

Animation For Evolution Project

There's a few things wrong with the video because there was a problem exporting it from Photoshop.

Task 1a Evolution

Part 1
Evolution is the gradual change of something.

This advert shows evolution but it is in reverse it shows the people in the video evolving backwards

Depth of Field

Depth of field is where you change the aperture on your camera to take a picture of an object and the background is blurred.

The wider the aperture the shallower the depth of field

I took a picture of various objects to demonstrate depth of field ,if you change the aperture it will make the object blurred in the image
