We think our preliminary video was fun, entertaining and included all of the shot types that we needed to include. We all had different roles in the making of the preliminary for example, camera work, acting and editing. We worked well as a team and the making of our preliminary went smoothly.
2) Did you find it difficult to use the technology and what technology did you use?
We used a Canon video recorder and a tripod. We found it challenging to work the tripod as we could not figure out how to place the camera on it. After a few goes we got the hang of it and filming became easier. We also used the editing programme 'final cut pro' to edit our video; using final cut took some getting use to but it allowed us the experiment with different transitions, cuts and editing techniques.
3) Did you stick to the brief? How long was the preliminary?
We included all shots that were required for the preliminary. On our storyboard we also included some extra camera shots, however when we were filming/editing we realised that some of the extra shots we had chosen to include, did not work with the flow of the short video. We took out a cut-away and a long shot of the car. As a group we feel that taking out these clips was for the best. Our preliminary was 33 seconds long.
4) What did you learn from this task that you would use for your actual production?
In our preliminary, was unintentionally broke the 180 degree rule as the girl (jade) walks to her car. We realised this after when editing and have learnt the importance of the rule. We learnt the basics of using final cut pro which give us creative freedom when editing for the thriller video. We also learnt the importance of time keeping when filming as this is a vital part of the actual video and keeping a steady level tripod.
