1st practical practice

For our first Pratical we had to go out in groups and Film all of the camera shots we had been told to use. We had to draw up a story board to get the basic setup and order of our camera shooting. In my group was Me, Jamie, Wez and Ben. our idea was to film different shots of Bens moped moving and stood still. We took all the shots and asll had a go at filming and getting used to the camera. Once we had finished filming we went onto imovie and started to edit the footage. Me and Wez split from Ben and Jamie to see how different our movies would be edited. On imovie we had to cut the outtakes and fade the different scences together to get the best possible outcome. After completing this we then chose to put a soundtrack over the video instead of having the original talking. The song we chose was Busted 'Thunderbirds Are Go' as this states something on the move which our moped was doing. We then added a few slides saying credits and titles to finalise the clip.

Overall i think our video shooting went very well as we all got involved and all had a go at getting used to the cameras. I thought we used a good range of shots and all seemed to be smoothly filmed. The thing we could of improved on was the images of the moped moving as we sometimes had to re-shoot these scences as we were either too close or too far so became too blurred.
Our Editing went really well too, me and wez both had a go at it each and both contributed to the order and cutting of each clip and in the end we had a very smooth running video. we also chose to take of the original sound as we thought the song would be more appropiate and go better with the clip. The thing we could of improved with the editing was we could of added a few special effects such as slow motion shots and adding different effects such as black anbd white.

Overall a good first project =]
