1st practical practice

For our first practical we had to make a short clip with a variety of camera shots. i belived our group worked together well as we were all boys (4 boys). In group was Me, Jamie, Josh and Ben. We filmed many different shots involving 3 of us, a moped and a pigeon. Me and Josh then departed from Jamie and Ben so we could make seperate edits on imovie. On imovie Me and Josh cut down the scenes took out any outakes and used effects like fade in and fade out to make the clip run smoother. I liked our editing as it also had a backing track of 'thunderbirds are go' by Busted the reason this song went well with our clip was because the moped was moving so it went with the title "thunderbirds are go" as the title states something on the go. While filming Jamie did most of the camera shots while ben was the main character. We did a variety of shots in our piece such as.. point of view, mid-shot,close-up,extreme close-up,long shot,tracking shot,high angle shot etc..
Overall i think our film ran very smoothly and we all took part in the filming weather it was acting or filming.. I think we could improve the shots as we didnt do a high enough "high angle shot" and we also had to re-film the tracking shot many of times as we kept jerking the camera while moving it. Also i think our editing went well because the film ran smoothly and wasn't boring.. Ours was unique in a way that we had no sounds from filming we only had the sound track.
