9th Febuary 2010 - Evaluation Of Preliminary Task

During the filming of the preliminary task, we learnt that the filming wasn't as easy as we thought it would be. We had to make sure that we got the right shots and that they were good enough for the end product. We therefore took a series of shots for the same shot just to make sure that it was right for the final piece as well as making sure that when we came to the editing it would follow continuity. We also learnt that the cuts from each shot had to be on point for it to work well.
We also had to make sure that we stuck within the 180 degree rule. We acheived this by only shooting from one side of the location; this of which was inside the canteen.
As the sound didn't upload on the editing programme, we couldn't cut the conversation properly so we guessed where the next shot started and ended.
Something else that didn't go to plan was that the tripod was slightly bent and not straight. We would therefore have to make sure that the tripod is straight and that the shot is straight too.
We also would have to make sure that when we cut to the next shot, we would cut for a reason and not just randomly. This would also be applied to to main task
