Preliminary Task Evaluation

How the filming went:

I think overall the filming went relatively well. The reason for this is because before we started the task, I and the group hadn't had much familiarity by way of how to work the camera; nonetheless with practice before filming we respectively gained a better understanding on how to use it, which then reflected in our completed piece of work.

How the editing went: 

After a while of experimenting with the different properties on the Macs, we decided to keep the clip simple. We merely cropped the parts that wasn't necessary or of a decent standard and similarly decided to put a black out right at the end to finish.

Problems you encountered:

Due to the fact only three of us turnt up to film out of the four, we couldn't by the same token share and use everyone’s designs. This meant once the other person did watch the completed clip, they wasn't entirely satisfied, but then again for the reason they wasn't there to involve their ideas not much could be altered.

Strengths of prelim:

As previously said none of us had knowledge with usage of the camera, I think the final piece of work came out really respectable. We accomplished all of the requirements of the task and in addition we selected an appropriate scene and ideal characters for what we wanted to do. There were no continuity errors and this was because we filmed the same scene three or four times which meant slight blunders could be missed out.

Weaknesses of prelim:

I personally think the ending of the clip could have been developed, as it cut out when he was just about to walk away - but then again we managed to shield it by placing in a black out. Again, since not the entire group was present, we only had limited ideas and perhaps with the final group member showing up, the overall clip may possibly have been improved.

What I will remember to do the same next time: 

Next time when filming, I will make sure I have a practice run with the camera, so I can learn to do altered shots, and get improved angles. I will also remember to film the same scene more than once so if any complications arose, they could be straightforwardly fixed.

What I will remember to do differently next time:

I'd make sure the group was more structured and make definite a time everyone was all free to get involved in the filming activity. I'd also plan out how to end the clip more carefully for a neater overall performance.
