Preliminary Task

For my groups (Ali, Shadei, Daniel and myself) preliminary task, we set up an idea. But found that our idea did not fit the requirments of the task and we found out orginal idea to be complicated. So we decided to create a simple storyline which would be effective through the use of camera shots. We decided the storyline would be about two friends who meet up to play football game on a computer console. Unfortunately we didnt have the faiclity to use a bedroom so we used a classroom instead. We knew that we had to focus on using effective camera shot to highten the relism. To edit the task, we went to the CLC in Enfield town. There was difficultys we faced, when we uploaded the film using firewire. It is commnon that the recording on the camera is split into seperate chunks but some strange reason when we uploaded the video it appeared in one big file. This meant we had to go through all our video clip and edit manually, this was time consuming but through each member of the group editing it seemed less grauling. This set my group back and cost my group some time, we did not complete the editing of the task. Due to the set back we faced, the majrotiy of the video was edited. We decided that Ali would take it home on disc to edit. Overal we found the set back we faced to be a good learning experince,, it showed my group to expect the unexpected. As a group we picked up tips from a person at the CLC called Andrew. He told my group the planning we did in preperation for our final task to be more detialed. This meant that the use of a more of an effective storyboard would mean, we as a group would know what shots we need. This way it would save time for a final peice and save time when it comes to editing. Overal i feel i picked up effective tips at CLC and put the knowledge i have learnt into devloping my final peice.
