Our aim for the exercise was to successfully film a sequence of walking though a door and have a conversation who was in the other room. This took longer that was expected, this was due to several reasons. The main reason was the storyboard that we had to follow was from another group, this was harder to film than the storyboard that we had originally planned out because of the way it was worded. it was also done by a different group which made it difficult.

Another major issue was that the cameras we were given to use were old and quite frustrating to use. one of the cameras we had to film with faded in when you told it to record, then when you clicked for it to stop filming it would fade out. This made editing the footage much more time consuming.

To make matter worse we had to edit the footage we had access to some old macs, again this made the task more difficult to achieve because of old hardware and software. We also had to re film our project 3 times because an over the shoulder shot was missing. Things don't always go to plan which is why we had to re film due to various reasons.

I think even though it took us longer to complete the task i feel that we achieved the targets that we set. However because of the equipment and the complexity of editing and producing the video I think I will do my Coursework on a magazine.
