Preliminary Filming Task Evaluation

How filming went:
Filming the music video wasn't too difficult, we chose the first 1 minute of the original video as this had the easiest shots that we were able to film with the equipment we had and in the locations we were accessible to. We were able to film the whole of the minute in my house and didn't have much difficulty in doing this as the shots were as simple as pouring water in a cup. The camera we used worked very well at doing the more difficult scenes that involved a change in focus, however we managed to do it as the camera allowed us to.

How editing went:
The editing was also relatively simple, we edited the clips by cropping them, muting them and adding a black and white filter as that is a main feature in the video. No other effects were needed in the video which made it a quick and easy process to do.

Problems we encountered:
- Minor lighting issue as some of the shots were quite dark so it was hard to be able to have such a dark scene in the middle of the day
- When we uploaded the videos we imported them and then couldn't find where they were on the laptop, this wasted a bit of time as we were searching for them for a while
- We decided we didn't want to stop filming in the middle of a verse so our video ended up being 1 minute and 10 seconds which is longer than the copyright restrictions on youtube allows us to upload. To overcome this problem we had to split the video into 3 clips so the clips were all under 30 seconds which allowed us to upload them to attach to our blogs

Strength of the prelim:
- The camera we used was effective, especially with the more technical clips that needed a lot of focus change
- We got every shot we needed to and they were all very similar to the original video
- We managed to get the filming and editing done in one day to ensure it was completely by the due date
- My partner and I worked well together, we worked particular effectively because my partner was particularly good at the filming aspects and i didn't mind acting in the video, I also worked mainly on the editing so we were able to help each other out in order to produce a good final product.
