What did you find difficult about this task?
During this task I found the production of the filming one of the most difficult, as while I was filming each piece I realised how important it was to make sure things hadn't changed in the scene, for example, lighting or new objects in the camera shot. I also found it quite difficult to position the camera in each shot; making sure the camera didn't move too fast, whcih could make parts of the scene look too rushed and sudden.
What worked well?
I feel that during the continuity piece, the general camera angles and shots worked well as our group used the three main camera shots and rules: shot reverse shot, match-on-action shot and 180 degree rule. I also felt that overall the general editing of the piece was developed and produced very well as the different scenes were shot in different order, making it harder to edit.
What could you or your team have done better?
I feel that the group could have done better in this task, and improve the sequence as I felt the piece of work didn't flow consistently when edited. I also felt that we could improve it by making sure everyone is quiet in the room in the background in which we are filming in because the people in the background seem louder in some parts than the actual actors, who we were filming. The last thing in which I feel could be improved would be the general conversion and topic in which they were being filmed for, as I felt the conversion seemed rather plain and needed something interesting to capture the audience.
What new skills have you acquired or developed?
While doing this task, I felt that I was able to develop the skills of using the Mac computers to edit the video clips, as before this task I wasn't very confident with using them. I also feel that I have gained a greater knowledge of filming a continuity piece; learning the different shots which should be used, including: match-on-action shot and the 180 degree rule.
