When watching the preliminary task back we found various strengths and weaknesses:
How filming went?
Overall the filming process was quite easy. We had a plan and completed it within an hour. The only problem we encountered was finding a character that would play the other part, Devyani was happy to be the interviewer so just had to find the applicant. Luckily one of our friends had a free lesson and was happy to take part.
How editing went?
After our practice editing task, using final cut express, the process for this was easy. The main problem we had was trying to match the sounds of the door opening and closing up. Additionally the cuts to different shots didn't flow as we wanted so we had to adjust it and put in effects.
Location:
The location we chose for our prelim task was the 6th form common room. Although we did it during a lesson a few students had frees so was within the area we were filming. The problems with this included noisy background noise and the characters didn't act to their best potential.
Strengths:
The main strengths were the various positives were used throughout. Additionally, clear characterisation and practice of the 180 degree rule. This has made us feel more prepared for filming our opening sequence.
Next Time:
The next time we use the cameras and final cut express will be for or final piece so we have to make sure we do certain things to make it successful. For example the characters can't look at the camera when filming as it make it look unprofessional. Additionally remembering to control situational variables will make sure we minimise background noise.
