Preliminary Task - What did we do?

There were 4 tasks that we needed to undergo to successfully complete our preliminary task;

1- Storyboard our shot sequence
2- Film our shots
3- Edit our shots on FinalCut Express
4- Upload the final sequence to youtube

After storyboarding our sequence, we went off to find a suitable location (an empty classroom with a hallway outside) whilst filming in the hallway, we had to redo several takes due to people walking past the camera or appearing in the background of the shot, but eventually after around 7 takes we got it.
All filming was going well, most shots being filmed only once or twice. But we soon ran out of time and only finished half our filming, this meant the people being filmed had to bring in the same clothes they wore on our first day of filming later on in the week.


During our next lesson, we went back to our location to find there was a class inside. We thought we'd have to leave filming to another day, but we managed to find another classroom that was near enough identical to the last one to film in.
After filming was complete, we uploaded the clips onto final cut express for editing. All went pretty smoothly, all though some of our shots were cut a bit short after cutting them down to size, making it look a bit jolty. This means when i film next, i will have to film a little before and after the actual shot to leave enough size for it to be cuttable and still smooth.
