Preliminary Task

Welcome to our blog. This is where we document our work and showcase everything we have achieved.

Our group consisted of:
Alex, Jess, Anam and Connor.
Alex and Jess acted in our piece and Anam was the camera operator.
Connor joined later in the process by edited our piece as we were having trouble.

 This is our preliminary task.

We had to create a short clip containing three key camera conventions:

1. Shot reverse shot
2. 180 degree rule
3. Shot on action

While creating our clip, we faced many challenges. One of the most prominent problems we had to overcome was that a certain scene of our clip could not be edited into the rest of the footage. Due to this, we were forced to re-film the entire film. We found that when editing the second footage, the old scene seemed to be working again. We decided to use the first clip's footage as we thought it was of a slightly higher standard. This meant we wasted time and had to catch up with the rest of the class.

We included music to generate a welcoming atmosphere within the clip.
After receiving feedback, we realised that we could have improved the volume of the music, it would have been easier to hear the dialogue between Jess and Alex if we made it quieter.

What went well was that we managed to produce the best work we were capable of with our limited knowledge of media.
