Main Task Filming Review 3

After a discussion with our media teacher, we decided that our piece was very restricted in terms of how much we had filmed and how many locations we had used. Therefore we decided to go out and look for some new locations to film that would give more of a suitable and relevant look to the genre our main task is going to be placed under. We searched areas near to where we had originally filmed as it would allow us to use some previous scenes and therefore we would not have to waste time re-filming the entire piece. Eventually we found a narrow, dark area where we felt the final scenes of the main task could be filmed. We then spoke to our two actors to agree on a date in which we could film these shots.Our female actor was able to do the date we had planned but our male actor was unable due to other commitments so I therefore decided to step in and be the main male actor in the piece. We manage to film everything in such a way that we did not ruin any continuity and we also managed to get all the relevant filming done in the time we had available. This then allowed us to upload all of the filming onto the computer and begin to edit.

Later on in the editing process we found out that our piece was bordering on being too short. Therefore we decided to add in a few extra scenes that did not require any actors so that it would be easy and convenient for all involved in the making of the main task. This added on a few vital second to our piece which meant it was able to meet the time length criteria. This then left us with editing the piece, adding titles and finding a suitable and non copyright soundtrack to go along with the main task. We managed to get all these done so the group are able to focus on evaluating this piece and answering the evaluation questions to a suitable and high standard.
