Our preliminary task was to film someone opening a door, walking across a room and sitting opposite someone and then having a few lines of conversation. We also had to include a 180 degree shot, a shot/reverse shot and match on action.
I enjoyed the task as I got to learn how to use things like iMovie, Final cut express with the razor tool and edit in the timeline, as well as exporting to final cut and then to my blog. Overall I am pleased with the outcome as it was my first time shooting and editing, but on looking back at my final product I feel there are definitely some things that I would improve upon next time round. For example one of the things I would make sure I do is that, when filming that the top of the frame is near the top of the person's head to reduce the amount of space above the persons head and also the amount the scenes jump. As well as this I learnt it would be better to move the camera to follow the person moving rather than keeping the camera in one place. I would also adjust the lighting as I feel that it meant the shots weren't so clear in a few scenes and I would make sure that the person’s eye line matches up to the camera.
