Evaluation - Continuity Task

Filming: 

           The process of filming went really well and over we ended up with exactly what we had in mind for our final piece. At the start of the piece we felt that it was very good and we established the fact that Beth was obsessed with Connor shown through our variety of camera shots. However after the first 30 seconds the continuity started to fall as we realized that the audience would probably be a bit confused with what's happening as we didn't plan the chase well enough. Also we didn't use a big enough variety of camera shots. For example we could off done a low angel camera shot to help portray Beth's obsession and the how much more dominate she is compared to Connor. Because of this as a group we realized that  if we would have had time to re-film some shots then we could have got or final piece spot on. As it was only for our continuity task we felt as a group that we didn't want to waste anymore time on it as we thought that we could just take on board what we need to improve on with our actual intro. One main thing that we realized was that we needed to play around with more shots, and when it came to filming our actual piece we will be able play around with more pieces. The group decided that my strongest point was directing, so i have been allocated that role for our actual piece but obviously a its a group task we will all contribute ideas and try all them out. 

Editing:

           When it came to editing Connor and Harriet already had the skills to use premier pro whereas Hannah and I had limited skills. So we decided to go off into twos to help each other,  I was with Connor and we had to start off with the the editing. Because Connor and I had already worked together in a previous task I already had some idea with what to do so it was really just Connor supervising me to make sure  I was on the right track. We decided to do this as  Hannah and I realized that we were relying on the other two too much and if they weren't in one day we wouldn't know what to do. We have now gained the confidence and skills to work premier pro by ourselves with no help from the other two. Now thanks to the help of the others both Hannah and I will be able to also use these skill for our course next year when we have to do our own task.
