As a test of our practical skills and to produce work in order to learn the Final Cut Pro editing software we where put into groups and given a small task to do. we where given a list of shots to take, alothough we could change them if we wanted, and we where given a script the to actors to follow.
We started of by having to take the storyboard and putting in the order of which types of shots we will take in which order, i.e. wide shots first then mid-shots, and then close-ups etc. We then decided who would perform what roles. I was chosen as the editior as i have a history of using final cut pro, i also helped on the camera. Hermione was the finder of our actors and organized everything and Sarah was the main camera woman and watched the lighting.Our next task was to find our to actors wether it was 2 girls, two boys or a girl and a boy, it did'nt matter as it was our shot. My group, Hermione, Sarah and I, went with two girl actors, Heather and Megan. We then saw the set and decided on a storyline to follow. The storyline was that Mgan is trying to force Heather to Come to a nightclub with her but Heather knows her parents wouldn't aprove of it.
On the shot day we gathered the equipment and got set up getting the lights and camera ready for shoting. We stuck with our plan and glided nicley through the shoting getting some bad, good and very good shot which was a good learning process to find out how to get the best shots. We had time at the end to get some shots that were not on the storyboard which turn out to be very clever shots which we can use in the editing process to spice up the recording and make it more exciting.
End of the shot we are done we pack away our equipment and CUT.
