17th-19th June 2009

On the 17th June we had filmed our sequence called The phone call on the first half of the lesson, and on the second half we had began to edit our video using imovie maker.
When we had filmed 'the phone call' i felt that it was becoming easier to use a camera to take different shots more steadily then the last time, when we had filmed a tour of our sixth form. Our group had managed to keep to time more effectively then the last time, when we had to rush and didn't manage to finish filming the end of our tour of sixth form. This time we had managed to film everything within the time period given.
Our group had never used IMovie to edit films before, but when we had started to use imovie we struggled at first to understand how to edit properly. After a little while we had managed to find it easy to use.

On the 19th June we all had finshed our final bits of editing, and then presented our video to the class. Although our video probably wasn't best in the class as a beginer in using these technologies i thought my group did pretty well in making the video.
The things that i thought that my group did pretty well in were things like:
*More steady camera shots
*location of our shots
*framing of our shots well
*keeping to our storyboard
*managing to edit the video using a new programme 'IMovie'

some of the things we sawe that we need to improve on and look out for in the future when filming are things like:
*when taking shots we need to make sure we don't include unwanted things in the shots and be more careful how we position our shots
*the sound- we need to make sur e we put in apropriate sound with the clip that we are filming (although the sound we used wasn't bad, we could have used it more effectively within the shots)

Overall i thought that our video was made quite well and we didn't have any distractions when filming our vidoe.
i think if i had to give a level using the mark scheme to our work i would give it a level 2 because our video had shown basic knowledge, but it showed a much bigger improvement then our first time filming. our filming was less shaky and we had better lighting then last time.
Now that we know how to edit, we should be able to do a better job when when we next film and should be ble to reach a level 3 by the time we get to making our main task.
