1. What did you think was the point to the activity?
The aim of this activity was to enable us to understand and demonstrate the different types of camera techniques that are used in the filming industry. We also learnt how to use a software called 'Final Cut Express', which is what we edited the film on. On this software we were able to crop the shots and put them altogether, so that the scenes would flow, like a proper movie.
2. In regard to your finished sequence, what worked well?
I felt that the continuity of the sequence was quite successful as the shots flowed smoothly making the scene look professional. To achieve this we had to edit the frames, trimming the shots at appropriate places. The videoing of the sequence was also quite steady, which shows clarity of the picture.
3. What would you aim to improve about your sequence? What continuity mistakes can you see?
If we had a chance to recreate the sequence, I would shoot the scenes again leaving more time at the end of each shot before I cut it, making it look more professional and not so rushed ,allowing time for the audience to digest what has just taken place in the shot. We could have also add music in the background to create more suspense and tension. In some of the shots, there was a bit of background noise of people talking, which we could have prevented by re-shooting the shot, which we did not do.
4. What did you learn from doing this activity?
From this task I was able to learn how to shoot from different types of camera angles such as an 'over head shot' and a 'close-up'. I also learnt how to use the software 'Final Cut Express', when editing and trimming the shots.
