Preliminary task

Ethan's Tutor session

  

Audio

When adding audio to our video we struggled when trying to lower the volume when there was dialogue. To overcome this issues we split the song into three part and made the audio when there was dialogue quieter so that the protagonists could be heard.

Editing/Camera

Shot reverse Shot-We filmed the conversation all from over one of the protagonists shoulder, then swapped and filmed the entire conversation again over the other protagonists shoulder. It was much quicker to film and the shots ran more fluidly. However, when it came to editing it was more complicated because we had to cut sections out of each clip to make sure we filmed over the correct protagonists shoulder.

Match on Action- We filmed all the movements from different angles. Although this meant our final piece looked fluid with no awkward jumps, it was tricky when editing. This was because many clips looked the same and we couldn't distinguish between which clips were incorrectly filmed and which clips were correctly filmed.

Learning comment

From this I have learnt that match on action and shot reverse shot work very well together to establish a story. I have also found an easier more accurate way to film shot reverse shot which i may decide to use in my final idea. Another thing I learnt was to over shoot the match on action shots because although it makes the shots harder to edit, it makes the movements look more fluid.
