Our first attempt at shooting went ok, but when we came to edit we found a number of problems with the captured material. These problems included such things as our camera making some of our film blurry, and when we uploaded it the movement wasn't smooth, as the pc skipped a couple of frames, making it jumpy, affecting the overall look of our peice.
Also, we decided that some aspects of the outfit "Simon" was wearing in the shooting weren't suitable or good enough for his character, so by re-shooting some shots and scenes we were able to make sure the continuity and costumes were more appropriate.
After we changed the costume, and some of the shots,the filming became alot easier and ran alot smoother.
(Late December & Early January)
We encountered another more serious problem towards the end of 2008, as the main pc's hard drive malfunctioned, losing many files from the designated pc. This included the filming for our thriller, and the already edited bits. We were unable to retreive the files, so we had to start filming again from the start, and editing. This put us behind the other groups, as some of them were close to finishing editing, however our teacher gave us an extension to complete editing and our evaluation, giving us a chance to improve our footage and learn from our mistakes. This worked quite well as we sorted out our character casting problem, and helped us see what we needed and what we didn't.
However, after we finished filming and editing, we disvoered our film was 1min and 44 seconds too long.
We are in the process of cutting it down, which proves harder to do than it sounds.
