When set our preliminary task from our teacher we were told a little bit on how to do it with a bit of advice to help us. We were also given a few things that it needed to do, for example, you have to show someone walking through a door.
Next, we got into small groups to film with. We discussed our ideas that we had and then came up with a story bored in the order we wanted to film in and the shot types we were going to use for each bit. We used this story bored throughout filming to make sure that we don't miss out bits and include all the necessary shots.
When we started filming we came across a few problems. For example, there was not battery life on the video camera that we were given, therefore we had to borrow a extension chord from the drama department at school. This meant that we couldn't do the first shot that we had originally came up with as it was in a outside location and so therefore we had to improvise and change the opening shot slightly, however overall this wasn't a problem as we used a pan shot, something that we wouldn't have been able to do in the other plan.
Once we had uploaded our footage on to the mac computer we had a problem with the dialogue, in which the cuts we're to quick and so that it was impossible to edit without being abrupt so after some time, we decide it best to re-film and because we knew exactly what we were doing, and had been over it before this didn't take much time at all and came out alot better then the first try as we knew now what not to do.
