Preliminary Task- Evaluation

Evaluation for the Preliminary Task

Finally the planning, filming and editing is completed, and I am very happy with the finished clip. I feel as though the planning went well, and because of this, the filming went smoothly, despite the camera cutting out on the first day of filming, which meant re-filming the next day. This however, acted as a good lesson because it has taught my group and I to ensure the camera is fully charged and that we have spare batteries just in case. As well as this, costume is essential for the final task so that if we do need to re-film any parts that go wrong, the costume will not be too complex to recreate. I am also now confident at using a camera to film footage, as well as using the lighting and other equipment responsibly.
 
Some of the problems I had to overcome when editing (I have never edited before) was working out how to use Adobe Pro as a whole, as it is quite a complex software for a first time editor. However, by doing this preliminary task, I am now able to edit confidently, by adding transitions, trimming the material, adding sound effects and adjusting the sound levels, which are amongst just a few of the skills I acquired during this task. Another problem was that some of the footage we filmed didn't completely link together which made the editing slightly more complicated, but this has taught my group to get as much footage as we possibly can, so we have more choice on which footage we would like to use for the final thriller task.
