Your Shoe Laces Are Untied: An Evaluation

The task was quick and relatively easy to complete with little need to reshoot any scenes and so i was able to get lots of short scenes with ease instead of ending in a nightmare of multiply retakes.  There are several factor to thank for this like my fairly co-operative group members and the simply layout and story we developed.  We created a plan setting out when each shot would be used and when, then using that the filming was quickly completed.  The editing was simply and straight forward with no complicated edits to do, but did take longer than the filming as I expected it would from past experience.  I snapped the clips together, trimmed them to the required length to get a fairly smooth flow, added some titles at the back and front then inserted some backing music.

Despite my above statement the filming did not happen without a few hitches like the size gap between me saying go and the person starting the scene, thus this created some small problems when editing as i had to try and remove my voice but keep what I needed from the clip.  Another problem was a slight camera shake throughout all the clips.

To improve upon the above for mentioned error I would review the clips as I film so I can catch any clips that need re-filming before I start editing, also I would use a steady cam or tripod to reduce/eliminate camera shake and talk to the "actors" to sort out a system of starting each clip so that I can more easily edit out my voice from the start of each clip.
