This week we were in the editing room, capturing the footage we got from our practice shoot on the weekend. It was the first time we had done some editing since we edited for the preliminary task, This time we were with different people, and in a different group.
We were pretty confident that we would do well with the editing this week, as we all knew what to do due to the experience we gained from our preliminary task and other media projects where we needed to use editing.
We got straight to work capturing all the footage we took, and straight away we realised that we were missing some of the shots we intended to shoot. However it was just a practice shoot and that is the purpose of a practice shoot, to learn from your mistakes so you don't make them again for the real thing.
As we were editing for the practice shoot it wasn't as important so we just editing during lessons, this is my timetable for the week, we edited in the periods highlighted in red, this periods are 40minutes long, so 7 x 40, is 280 minutes, so we spent 4 hours and 40 minutes editing.
We sat down as a group on friday lunchtime to discuss the weeks events and to talk about anything we might need to improve or remeber for next time we shoot.
We came up with a list of problems we had to solve and things we have decided to change for the main shoot:
- We have to keep the storyboard with us at all times to ensure that we know exactly what we want in each shot
- We need to shoot in chronological order so we dont forget any shots, this will be ok as we only shoot in two different locations
- We need to keep up to date with the shot log so when it comes to capturing we know exactly where the shot we want is on the tape
- We need to make sure that when shooting we do more then just one take, as in a number of cases on the practice shoot we moved on to the next shot instead of checking that the footage we had got was good enough
- We have to make sure that we keep using the clapperboard so we know what take we want to use
