Filming and editing the Preliminary Task

For filming the sequence we as a group decided to film the scenes chronologically as we thought we could speed through the easy scenes and have more time to film the harder end scenes. Our planned worked and we finished the filming after around an hour & 40 minutes. The first few scenes went perfectly as it only to a couple of takes to get them correct. However the scenes with dialogue were more tricky to get right as the actors couldn't get the right emotion into their lines, eventually after lots of takes we settled with the takes we had.


I had to be absent for some lesson time for family business, my group had technical difficulties copying the film to a computer from the camera taking up some time. Once I returned very little editing had been done accept from uploading the film to Adobe Premier Pro and cutting some scenes. This is what editing I did:
  • Put the scenes in order,
  • Compressed the clips,
  • Removed unnecessary background sound,
  • Made some scenes darker to provide more tension,
  • Added a dramatic non-diegetic background music to also provide tension
  • Finally added a diegetic gunshot sound effect to provide an ending to the sequence.
After these were completed we successfully uploaded the clip to YouTube.
