From the experience of using just one camera to shoot, I have realised how hard it really is to produce a “real looking” film and also how important continuity really is. The camera’s we had also had quite poor audio filming, so we have to think more carefully than we first imagined and many of our cameras had to be closer to the audience to make the audio dialogue louder and clearer. The cameras however, did have good clear vision which helped us to shot from different distances. We were originally planning to shot a lot of ours in the dark, but when we got round to testing the camera, we realised there vision in the dark was quite poor.
I think if we were to shoot another movie, we would try and get another camera to stop basic mistakes such as continuity.
Another think to keep in mind is that you needed a tripod for almost any shot. We were planning to shot some of them handheld, to make it look more realistic, but the quality was incredibly poor.
Not only have we learn about camera technology, but also about editing software for example we used photo-shop premier. we might of known some of the basics e.g. how to important clips, but we then learnt much more about editing tools e.g. cutting, ripple delete. these are all helpful tools that will help us next year in A2 media.
the only problems we had with the software were we were abit confused at the beginning how to use it and also it crashed regularly as there was around 20 in the same room using the same media server and software. we over come this by leaving the software alone for example rendering our project threw lunch as it took much longer than expected.
