PRELIMINARY TASK - DIARY ENTRY

The preliminary task didn't go exactly as was planned. The first issue was with uploading the footage, I did this incorrectly and lost of time trying to correct this error. I did recover the footage, but once I had done this it was apparent that several shots that we filmed were missing, and the camera had already be wiped by the time we went back to it. This wouldn't have been a massive issue, as we could edit what footage we did have into a reasonable film which met the filming criteria fairly well, but there was an issue with sound - as in some clips were missing any sound whatsoever. To get around this we had to re-dub the sound by getting our actors to return and read the lines once more. This worked fairly well but the film was far from perfect.

Positively, we did meet the filming criteria (the 180 degree rule was obeyed for example) and the fact we made a film at all was quite an achievement after all the difficulty we ran into. I learned a lot from the experience, and hopefully all the mistakes we made in the making of this task, will mean we don't make them again in the main task, which will hopefully benefit from what we learned from our mistakes in the preliminary task.
