Filming and editing

We were set the task of creating a short film about a phonecall. We had to do a storyboard for this so that when we started to film we knew what we were doing, there had to be 16 shots all planned out. Unfortantly i missed this lesson so had to catch up on what was happening in the next lesson. We then started filming in the first setting which was on the storyboard, and found someone that agreed to be filmed. We did this for the first hour and finished all our shots within it. The things that i learnt were how the different shots and camera angles are needed to get what your trying to achieve across to your audience. Also how the length of shots are important whilst filming. We had the examples of what we needed to improve on from filming last time so we knew what we had to work on.
In the second hour we uploaded our short film onto the Macs and began to edit the shots into one short film. It took our group a little longer to understand using it but after a few attempts and being shown what we needed to do to cut a shot we got the hang of it.
Unfortunately, technology didn't seem to like our group and we had a few problems, resulting in us loosing the editing we had already done in IMovie, but we contiuned it during the free lessons we had.
The next lesson was just finishing the editing of our short film and adding in titles and credits in which was more simple than i thought it would be after getting the hang of the editing the first time round, finishing it didnt take to long and we experimented in the titles and credits at the beginning and end of the film. After all the groups had finished their editing we all watched eachothers short films and made comments of the strengths and what could have been improved but each groups were good and gave us ideas on how being given the same task can turn out differently in the different groups.
