Preliminary Task-Final Evaluation

I am very happy with how our final product turned out. If I was to change anything about the footage I would attempt to make the part where the main character sits down before she starts talking smoother as this makes the filming and editing seem less professional. The part of the preliminary task that I found the hardest was the editing as I had never used adobe pro before so it took me a while to learn how the software works. But after asking my teacher and other members of the class who have used the software I got the hang of it quickly. Once I learnt how to cut the clips and add sounds I found the editing the most enjoyable part.

As a result of our thorough planning of each shot, once we had changed our location, the filming went smoothly and was completed quickly. After we filmed each shot each member of the group watched it to make sure everyone was happy, before we decided whether we needed to delete and re-film or stick with the shot we had created. This made the editing process much easier as we didn't have lots of unneeded shots to sift through.

When we first started filming we only used the handheld camera, this wasn't adequate for the type of shots we were trying to create as it was unsteady, and so we found a tripod to use. The tripod improved the standard of our filming immensely so I am glad we made the decision to use this piece of filming equipment.

My favourite shot is the slow motion of the cup hitting the floor. This turned out a lot more
successful than I thought it would. I am proud of this shot as it was the first part of filming I have ever completed.
