Preliminary Video

On the 12th January, Myself, Siobhan, Ella and Martin made our preliminary video. The video had to show a character walking through a door, then across a room, sitting down opposite another character, then a few lines of dialogue had to be exchanged between the characters. We also had to include a match on action shot. We included this when I walked through the door, showing me coming through the door the other side.

We had to have trail runs of how it would look due to the time limit, so we done a few takes of each scene. We practised each scene before filming it so that me and Siobhan knew what we had to do and say and so that we knew our timing. Once we had our footage we then uploaded it to the computer and edited it digitally so that our shots fit in together smoothly.

The only problem that we have is that the librarian appears and disappears in the background, this was hard to control as we were filming it in the school library where people are moving around. Also there is some background noise interfearance as it is a public place.

Taking these problems into account for our final project we will film after school, when there will be no unexpected children or teachers. Also we will have it planned to exact detail so minor problems shouldn't happen. Actors and costumes will be sorted before filming and the equipment will be the best quality as possible. We will again take more clips, in case of problems with them.
