During the pre production of this task my group was first given a script to look at before we began shooting which was to be two characters in a room exchanging a couple of lines of dialogue. We were given it to brainstorm and create a few ideas of how we wanted to film it e.g. what shots to use, what costumes to wear. We were instructed to create a storyboard of each scene and specifically how we wanted to shoot it to make sure each scene created a specific effect and of course to make sure that the movie looked well made as opposed to boring and dull from using the same shots again and again etc. If there was anything I could change it would be the fact that we didn't plan thoroughly the venue of where we would be filming which could've potentially damaged our amount of time but thankfully it didn't seeing as we quickly found out what place was the most appropriate. However, we still would've been more organised if we had planned better with venue ahead of filming.
Production
During production everything was generally going well with filming and using the props and characters in the correct setting. We were doing everything step by step using the storyboard and script of course because it was a structured way to use our time effectively seeing as we had everything already planned out. We were a bit struck for time near the end seeing as when both periods had ended we still had one more scene to shoot, but it wasn't a huge drawback seeing as we did that in a quick amount of time the next lesson. To film we needed a camera (obviously) but also a tripod which was very useful when it came to constructing tracking shots which by end appeared very professional.
Post Production
After production we had to get all the footage from the Camera's memory card and edit on Serif MoviePlus. To construct editing in it's finest form we decided like it's usually advised to shoot scenes many times because doing it once isn't safe in the matter that it doesn't look it's best. Scenes also need to be shot many times due to the fact that sometimes errors can be made and it's best to have several different shots just in case. From this task I have learnt how to better my camera techniques and editing also to create various different types of effects e.g. what shots to use and when depending on the the subject of the scene.
