2nd practical.. Filming+Editing

For our second practical we had to get into groups and film a scene of a person walking through a door and across a room who then had a conversation with another person. For this activitie i worked with Wez, Maz and Cat. We chose to do our filming in one of the D.t classrooms as they had the door to walk through and a resonable size room to film in. we used a variety of shots in our filmig such as tilt shot, point of view shot, mid shot and 180 degree turn shot. our film was of Maz aranging to meet Wez and then ending their relationship. When Editing We had to crop quite a few of our shots to make them fit together and run smoothly and when done the movie was quite good and the camera shots were relativly good. We did however have a few out takes which we didnt use, but looking back at them our proper shots were much better quality. We chose not to put any sound on as we could not find any suitalbe in the music creator that all four of us liked.

If we could improve anything i think it wud of been if we had more time, the reason for this is because our first film was not of good quality so we had to rush the filming although it is relatively good for the space fo time we did it in.
