For my Media Preliminary task, the filming was successful as
everything was filmed promptly and quickly. Despite the editing stage being
relatively successful, as I was able to attain copyright free music which
worked very well in my film, I did come up against a problem. I discovered that
as a result of a technical error, the sound of my clips didn’t record and thus
all sound was lost. As such I required my actors, Charlie and Rowan, to re-dub
the sound for me and then I could edit it back into the filmed clips. This
process went well as Charlie and Rowans dubbing was perfect and therefore made
it easier for me to sync the two separate media files together. If I could
improve anything I would certainly improve my camera quality, as it was occasionally
blurred, and to make sure the sound works while filming. I could do this by
test recording a sound and playing it back to make sure it has registered, by
doing this I wouldn’t have to re-dub sound and I would have more time to edit effectively.
On 05/11/15 I received feedback for my Preliminary Task, the
feedback was generally positive as my 3 required elements were praised. However
a criticism was that slightly more match on action was required in order to
keep the film fresh and easier cut. I will take that into great consideration
when I film and edit my AS Film Opening in the New Year.
