Preliminary Task

Here is the video of our preliminary task completed.
When filming it was important we kept our shots continuous and Megan followed through with her moments. This really helped when it came to editing as it allowed the clips to come together smoothly and prevented the scene looking jerky or unnatural. Areas that we struggled with was mostly timing and location. We filmed in chronological order and we managed to complete the first half in just a few takes, however when we moved to the other side of the door our location was compromised. Seeing as it the first part went so well we decided to wait until the location was clear and then continue filming rather that restarting somewhere new, looking back I feel this was a good decision. When filming in the future I will always make sure that my chosen location will be clear for a sufficient amount of time to avoid something like this happening again.
The actors with in the scene also made some mistake which caused laughted, this was totally acceptable seeing as it was our first time but we soon began eating in to the time that we had to film. We were happy how the match on action shot turned out although the last shot could have been improved by the framing being better and not being as obstructed. I would say this wasted time caused the messy ending which if had the chance we would redo.
This is a good lesson learnt as when it comes to our final product we do not want any areas of it to come across messy or un-neat.
