Preliminary sequence - 'Feed the fish'


The preliminary tasks taught us a lot about filming and editing as we had to re film and re edit a lot of the footage. When we first started to film we made a big mistake and tilted the camera so it was portrait, making the footage different from other clips we had shot. When it came to editing we uploaded the footage to final cut express and this is where we noticed the camera difference so we had to rotate all the footage so it became equal. By doing this we learnt more from final cut , giving us more experience for when we had to film out main task. We tried to use as many shots as possible while making sure we did not make the film look uneasy towards the audience, for example we used extreme close ups to highlight the importance of the dialogue, making the atmosphere tense.  We also used long shots to capture the whole mise en scene and setting to inform the audience of where this is . Overall filming and editing the prelim task really helped us when it came to our final preoduction , it improved our knowledge and skills for final cut express which helped speed up the editing process.
