Notes on filming

My pre production went okay, we did the story board and thought it went decent but when we actually started filming we added a pan shot at the start which wasn't in there on our storyboard and then we realised that the shots were in the wrong order so we followed the story board half and half ish. We did our shooting schedule and followed it in the right order, well a bit better than we followed the storyboard anyway. We shot at least five shots for each shot we needed so that we could pick what one was the best to use and that we 100% got it right.

Notes on editing

The editing (which i thought was going to be the hardest point) actually went really smoothly! There was no crashes in the computer where we lost all our work or anything or forgot to save, the computers did lag and nearly crashed quite a few times though but that's okay compared to some of the other times when the computers would totally crash. The sorts of software i used were Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015. This system was very useful as it let us add in text, cut and paste video clips and sound etc and also let us manage those sound tracks easily. We used the razor tool, the add text tool, the sound management tool to make sure the voiceovers were louder than the background music so you could hear the voices, the track select forward and backwards tool, the speed/duration and the fade in effect at the start of the film.
