Monday, 25/01/2010 - Preliminary Task Filming

Today, we re-filmed our entire sequence for our preliminary task. We ensured that we incorporated a variety of shots and camera movements, such as a tilt, close up and shot-reverse-shot, including over the shoulder shots. This took around 20 to 30 minutes, and in this time we learned the difficulties that may be encountered whilst filming, such as locations, timing and casting.

Afterwards, we began to edit our sequence together, after watching a demonstration at the start of the lesson on how to work Adobe Premier Pro CS4. This demo included tips on what not to do in order to make sure our work would save correctly. Once we'd transferred our material onto the computer from a tape, we tried editing, however encountered some difficulties. One of these was that we didn't split our sequence into separate clips, making it incredibly difficult to edit together. From this experience, I have realised that it is ideal, and almost essential, to split sequences up, other wise it makes it harder to edit.

Next lesson, (Friday, 29/01/2010) we aim to have edited our piece, and recorded any necessary diegetic sound to complement it.
