After filming our preliminary task we could asses our work it allowed us as a group to identify the weaknesses in our filming methods and our attention to detail. The biggest flaw was the contunuity of our piece, having people in the background of one shot but not in the next, this flaw meant that when filming our opening sequence we had to make sure to film without public or elements that could change shot to shot. Another thing that improved was the type of camera that we used. we used a small flip-camera to film our preliminary task whereas we have now used a bigger digital camera to film our opening sequence. the quality of the image was much better and we were able to use a wider variety of camera angles and techniques. such as: the flip cameras could only be used hand-held, whereas the larger digital camera could be used on a tripod to keep the camera steady. It could also zoomed in with much better quality than the flip camera. Between filming the preliminary task and the footage for the opening sequence, we had the chance to learn about a large variety of different camera angles and filming techniques, making the variety of shots seen in our opening sequence much better. When it came to filming our opening sequence we realised that it would be more difficult to keep the continuity in these 2-4 minutes than it was in the short 10-20 seconds of the preliminary task. This is down to the amount of filming time in one day being limited and the shooting being spread out over a few days. This also meant that weather conditions, lighting and the amount of pedestrians around at our locations would vary. The things that we learnt about editing software and techniques allowed us to edit the footage to keep the continuity running throughout the opening sequence. Since doing the preliminary task, I definitely feel that I have learnt much more about the editing process and methods that can be used when making a film. The editing process for the preliminary task was quite easy; the different shots and camera angles simply had to be edited together so that they flowed and didn’t look choppy. However, when it came to editing the opening sequence footage, a lot more editing had to be done.I learnt how to use transitions to link the different shots together, as well as how to add music and dialogue over the footage to make it more effective.
