1. Who did you work with and how did you manage the tasks between you?

Courtney, Susan, Ruksana and myself. All had equal inputs on all tasks to be

completed the best they can Hour and half filming, hour and 45 editing Rushed filming would have been even

better with more time Did very well on editing completed well

with time to spare

2. How did you plan your sequence? What process did you use?

Used storyboard made up of 10 frames Shown a practice sequence to show us how

to shoot Learned not to leave unneeded space in

shots such as an over the shoulder shot Going through the sequence each time so it

flows better and we know the sequence by heart.

Learned vital features of camera and tripod to enable us to shoot the right shot from any height or angle

3. What technology did you use to complete the task, and

how did you use it? Cannon HD Camera, Tripod, Editing Software ( Adobe Premier ) Used camera to shoot different shots like long shots, pan

shots, close ups, extreme close ups, over the shoulder shots and two shots

Using the Tripod enabled us to use the camera at different heights and angles

We also used the editing software ( Adobe Premier ) on the computer enabling us to successfully edit our sequence, putting in the different shots together, cutting our parts we don’t need and we also managed to add a slow motion effect

I learned how to set up a tripod and safely put on the camera, which enables us to freely move the camera, I also learned how to put in the tape, know the correct terms to use when shooting ( take 1, shot 1, action cut ) and how to successfully record shots for the sequence.

4. What factors did you have to take into account when planning,

shooting and editing? When we were planning we had to take in account

the camera shots, so when it came to shooting we knew exactly what we was shooting for that particular frame

When shooting we had to take many factors into account, for example we had to take in account the area we had to shoot in and what angle the camera had to be at when trying to get the right shot

When we were editing we had to take in account how much we needed to cut off of a particular shot, how much we needed to keep and keeping it all together

5. How successful was your sequence?

Feel as if our sequence was successful We worked well as a group and It was shown in our end

product, we edited everything where it should be, with all our different shots evident in the sequence

As well as that independently we worked out to had add a slow motion effect into a clip in which we used when throwing the paper down as it made the sequence look even more dramatic

The only problem we may have encountered was perhaps we rushed our filming as we had a set time of 1 hour 30 minutes so it made us rush our work a bit and maybe not got our shots as good as they could have been, so next time I would like to give ourselves a bit more time so we can make our shots even better the next time.

6. What have you learnt from completing the task?

I have learnt many key skills with camera work, such as how to shoot, how to set it up safely on a tripod, which will be key in future tasks

I have also learnt many key skills with editing, how to cut shots, how to move shots, how to slow down or speed up the pace of shots

I also learnt how to manage my time when editing as when we started to edit we finished with plenty of time to spare

Also learnt how to work with a complete group of people I don’t know very well to create a successful end product, using key communication and listening skills so we finished with the best possible end product.

. As well as that it helped me be more organised as we had to keep all of our planning, all of our group, and all of our timings together and organised in one

What did you learn about the editing process?

We used the adobe premier software for editing which is a software I have never used before so everything I did on their was newly learnt

I learnt how to cut the shots smaller, how to move the shots to where I want to put them, how to zoom in and out of the timeline, how to slow and speed up the shot, and in learning this it helped me successfully edit my sequence

.We made decisions of cutting our shots by keep watching a clip over and over again until we got the bit we wanted then we cut it to the piece we needed

we managed our time very well as we finished with time to spare and it had a successful end product.
