Task 1.2 - Filming and Editing

After our storyboard and animatic were finished, we filmed and edited our final video. The only rule we had to follow was the 180 degree rule, so for the rest we had free reign. Unfortunately we lost some of our footage so instead of having the camera cut between people after every shot, we had to put 3 shots in a row twice, which meant there was quite a few shakey transitions, however, this wouldn't have happened if there was a tripod available to use. We also had to use a shot that wasn't even meant to be in the video, at the end as our last shots were also lost. Also, we didn't use the space well in our video. There was lots of empty space above both of the peoples heads in a few shots.On the upside we stuck to the 180 degree rule the whole way through and had a reasonable variety of shots.When we begin our main task, we will take what we have learnt in this prelim task to make our final piece very well filmed and edited.During filming we will take all of the shots from one side, and then from another to save time and effort. Also, we will try and use a wider variety of shots so there's not just 3 shots from the same angle etc. while still following the 180 degree.
