Prelim task evaluation

Our prelimary task didnt go as effectively as we wanted it to. For example the film we recorded wasn't long enough and the picture quality was too blurry. The way we can learn from this in our real film make sure we record enough film, and also to make sure we use a proper video recorder to record our film so there isn't a bad picture quality. Another thing that went wrong in our video is that the editing software we used (video pad) wasn't the best. This led to a few obvious mistakes in the narrative. However this isn't such a bad thing as for our real film opening we have learnt not to use this software as it isn't quite good enough. We also found sound a problem in our prelim video as the dialogue between the two actors was drowned out by the loud background noise of the wind and the sound of children shouting. This background noise should have either been silenced by the editing. Or instead a piece of a non diegetic soundtrack should been installed to accompany the narrative and to silence the background noises. In our actual film opening a non diegetic soundtrack will definitely be used to match the film. However not everything went wrong in our group, for example the group had a good chemistry and the group worked well. The group was very organised and always met the deadlines that were set by the teacher. The only thing that was stopping us from making an excellent video was that we didn't film enough narrative. However as the group worked so well together, it would be great if the group could work together again for the opening credit sequence.
