Preliminary task – Natalie Barnes

Before beginning to film the preliminary task, we had to create a story board so we knew what shots we would be doing. This didn’t take long as we knew what we had to do and we tried to keep the task very short and simple, but still show the different skills we have.
For this pacific task I took the role as being one of the actresses, but we all gave our input to what various things we wanted to be included to our video. When filming we knew there was rules we had to stick to, like the 180 degree rule and to make our video to have continuity. We had to film the same shots multiple times as the camera was shaking and that made the video unprofessional and unsteady.
Once we were satisfied with the filming we did we then had to edit out clips. This didn’t take long as we filmed the clip in chronological order, so we just had to drag the clips into the timeline. After watching the video, be was aware we had lots of unnecessary parts of it and quickly realised we had to cut some of it out. After taking away all of the needless parts of the video we decided that adding any extra effects would be pointless.
At the end of this task, I think we all made a very good contribution to the group and worked well together.
