Preliminary task Evaluation

While we were filming we encountered several difficulties. The main difficulty was that we were unable to maintain the same room that we were filming in. This caused some complications as we had to film in a second room in which the layout had changed causing discontinuous editing to become apparent.

The equipment we used was rather simple to use however it did take our group a while to learn to use the editing software on the mac computers. However once we had learned how to use it we soon were able to edit more efficiently. The editing skills we used became more complex and the flow of the film was improved. An example of this was when we were inserting sounds into our film. At the start we were unable to quieten down the main audio from the clip. As our skills improved we were able to rectify this.

While we were filming we discovered that our original storyboard was confusing us as we were unsure of which shots we were going to use. When the story board was first drawn up we had shown what the final piece was going to look like. This caused concern as to what shots we needed to use. However we redid our storyboard and everything became much more clear and we were able to complete our film.
 
After editing our film we found that there are some parts that we will have to re-film as the story doesn't make much sense unless it has the shot in it. These shots include some close ups and our match on action which was not up to standard. Once we have reshot these parts the film will be of a better quality than it is.

Our group worked well as a team. We corrected each others' mistakes and we helped each other with the understanding of how to create films. When we were editing we each explained to each other how to edit and so improved our knowledge overall which aided in our skills.
