Preliminary exercise

My group was set a task to complete a preliminary exercise, which would test our ability in using media equipment. The task was to make a short clip of someone opening a door, walking in a room, sitting down and exchanging words with another character.  We were in a group of three which consisted of me Luciana and Gamze. We went through a process of making mistakes, Leaving the camera on record etc. But we got some reasonable footage in the end.
We used a long shot of Luciana walking through the door which continues onto the other shot where we use a panning shot to follow her across the class to where she was going to sit. Once she was sat down we used Shot reverse shot to bring the conversation and reactions between her and Gamze together.

Once we had all our footage we edited it on final cut pro. We cut all the separate shots and picked the best ones to tightly fit together so the cutting between shots runs smoothly.

  1. You have outlined the steps you took, which is useful. You should also discuss strengths and weaknesses of your filming and editing. It is important to post comments which evaluate your work rather than just record it.
