Preliminary Task--FINAL EDIT

In my preliminary task as much as we fought it continuity seemed to be an issue. We applied 'Match on Action' where possible and although the outcome could be much improved I'm happy with what we ended up with. I speak for my group when i say the main issue was the doors. They opened and closed the wrong way to create the vortex almost portal i was hoping to achieve to take our character (Gabriel) from place to place, every time confused as to why he could never end up in the right place, whilst at the same time his girlfriend eagerly awaits to tell him some important news. Throughout making this film I found time past by faster then i thought it would. This meant organisation was key and something I needed to pay more attention to. Things such as organising where we would film and what clothes the actor was to wear on what day was an issue and I feel i have learnt from my mistake and will be able to plan and deliver better next time. However after walking around and finding what we thought to be funny places to film, we had a range to select from and I thought that helped whilst editing at the end. Editing was a job i shared with Sam and Aimee that seemed to take hours. Cutting clips to make them fit together proved a challenge in itself, and as i have said achieving continuity was hard but I thought it turned out smoother than rocky. A fault I found whilst filming was zooming in and out. I feel its uncomfortable to watch Gabriel stepping in and out of the van and i will work on that in the future. Aimee was our director, Sam shared the editing job with us all and I was the camera man. I found our team worked well and we learnt from our mistakes. The experience has made me more confident and excited about our 2 minute film.
