R+P Post 32: Test shoot and rough edit

Result of our test shoot and rough edit

Test shoot schedule

Our times (group 3's) are shown in yellow.

TEST SHOOT
Pros

• The test shoot was really fun
• We tried out new ways of shooting shots such as moving shots of us playing around and dancing freestyle.
• Even though all our male actors weren't available Amber took Aaron's place temporarily so all of us were able to practice our scenes with someone.

Cons

• We didn't test shoot everything that we had wanted to. This was due to lack of time management and proper communication between the group.
• Some of our male actors did end up waiting a while with nothing to do. We could have better organised their call times and shoot slots.
• Some shots were not focused which we didn't realise until viewing the shots to edit them. Next time we will make full use of the TV to see how our shots look on a large screen and also check the camera focus every time we shoot. We also plan to view our shots more regularly on the computer during the shoot week in case we need to re shoot anything. An example of an out of focus shot below.

ROUGH EDIT
Pros

• We were very efficient with editing. Everyone contributed time equally.
• We learnt how to speed up shots and used previous knowledge from our prelim to edit in flashes to the beat of the song.
• We made use of fade-ins and outs.

Cons

• It doesn't look as cool and professional as the music videos we've all researched and took inspiration from so we need to work on filming and editing.
