Overall I think our Preliminary Task went really well and we worked together as a group.We planned our task extremely well and worked together as a group to write the script , plan the scenes and shots. Because we had to include a Match Cut and stick to the 180 Degree rule of filming we made sure that we all knew what these were and practised filming them and editing accordingly. I think we did well in getting Max and Pat to act in our task as they did a great job of it. However our task was not perfect and there were some issues that we had along the line.
One problem we had with editing was the sound and dialogue of our clips. Some of the dialogue in our video overlaps one another whilst switching different camera angles. This is a simple error that we can resolve with more practice with editing in Final Cut Express and by watching more tutorials. Another problem with the sound is that whilst filming the conversation between the two characters was too fast as they were involved in Stichomythic exchange and perhaps we could have slowed the dialogue down whilst filming. This is not the actors fault and as they were not clear how fast they should talk. By having speech overlapping each other it makes it a nightmare to edit and we can fix this when we come to our Main task if we include dialogue.
Despite all of these problems, I think our location was good, our filming was good and our editing of the video clips was good. This preliminary task has shown us what we need to do in order to make our main task perfect.
