Task 2 - Developing Editing Techniques

In-Camera editing is a easy and simple way of creating a short film. It only requires a camera, in-camera editing is good because it takes less time to make and it can look very unique. It is also very good for someone who has no experience of editing before as it is very easy to learn the camera's functions. But In-Camera editing also has down sides,  to make your film perfect it requires practice and you only get one chance to get it right or the film will have mistakes in.




To create this short film we had to start by creating a storyboard, during the creation of this we had to decide who has in the film and who was behind the camera. Once we decided who was doing the acting we then had to decide who did what and where we did it.

Stair Scene 1: The first part to the film was me walking down the first set of stairs, this was very simple but looks very good as the camera was at a angle.
Stair Scene2: We then moved the camera down the stairs and changed the angle of the camera, this also made the film look very professional.

Door Scene: During the door scene, as the camera and the people filming couldn't see me and i couldn't see me Tony had to go next to the window and say go as i didn't know when the camera was rolling. But when we did do it, it was very good and there was no distractions throughout the scene.

Meeting scene: During the meeting scene there was a problem with communication between the camera  crew and the two people acting, but even though this was a problem we still managed to complete the scene and it was fairly good.

Chatting scene: During the chatting scene it went very smoothly but we didn't really have anything to talk about so we had to make it up as we went along,  But over all it went very well and no mistakes were made during the walking through the school.

Stair scene 3: On the 3rd set of stairs we had various of shots, long range and close ups. This made our scene look very professional, but the down side was that others who were filming on the same floor as us made a lot of noise and for a couple of seconds was heard in the scene, but filming wise it went very well.

Study room scene: During the study rook scene we had even more various camera angles, this included a very good close up on my hand opening the door with my school pass. And then me opening the door and Billy behind the door closing it after we entered, this looked very professional but we could see Billy's hand behind the door but overall it very very good.
