Preliminary Task



EVALUATION:

Who my group consisted of: Noreen (me), Sahar, Danika and Michelle

At first, our group sat and decided on which of our scripts we were going to use for the preliminary task, we chose mine (can be found on blog), and we also chose our roles. Me and Sahar were working  the camera and edidting, and Danika and Michelle were the actresses. We knew our prelim task couldn't have too much dialogue and needed to have two or more locations. We found places were no one else was filming and then we started to film. When we had finished filming we went back to edit and realised that we hadn't completely stuck to the 180 degree rule, and the clips that we filmed didn't give us much opportunity to cut and still make it look like an on-going sequence. Therefore we went back to film in the time we had left and also changed on of the the locations as it didn't look right in the footage. This time we made sure there were enough places for us to edit the sequence properly. I think for our first time filming and editing our own sequence it was quite successful and taught us what we need to focus on to make our openings successful too. It also taught me that test shooting could really be useful to know what works and what doesn't. I really enjoyed the editing out of everything we did and felt as if i got the hang of it quickly.
