By Joe Davies The document summarizes Joe Davies' experience filming and editing a short video sequence with a group. It discusses the process of storyboarding, filming with a Canon HD camera and tripod, and editing the various shots together using Adobe Premier. Key skills learned include setting up a camera, recording shots, editing techniques like cutting and adding effects, and managing a group project within a deadline to achieve a successful final product. Time management was improved and various technical skills with equipment were gained.

2.  Courtney, Susan, Ruksana and myself.
 All had equal inputs on all tasks to be
completed the best they can
 Hour and half filming, hour and 45 editing
 Rushed filming would have been even better
with more time
 Did very well on editing completed well with
time to spare

3.  Used storyboard made up of 10 frames
 Shown a practice sequence to show us how to
shoot
 Learned not to leave unneeded space in shots
such as an over the shoulder shot
 Going through the sequence each time so it
flows better and we know the sequence by
heart.
 Learned vital features of camera and tripod to
enable us to shoot the right shot from any
height or angle

4.  Cannon HD Camera, Tripod, Editing Software ( Adobe Premier )
 Used camera to shoot different shots like long shots, pan shots,
close ups, extreme close ups, over the shoulder shots and two
shots
 Using the Tripod enabled us to use the camera at different heights
and angles
 We also used the editing software ( Adobe Premier ) on the
computer enabling us to successfully edit our sequence, putting in
the different shots together, cutting our parts we don’t need and
we also managed to add a slow motion effect
 I learned how to set up a tripod and safely put on the camera,
which enables us to freely move the camera, I also learned how to
put in the tape, know the correct terms to use when shooting (
take 1, shot 1, action cut ) and how to successfully record shots for
the sequence.

5.  When we were planning we had to take in account
the camera shots, so when it came to shooting we
knew exactly what we was shooting for that
particular frame
 When shooting we had to take many factors into
account, for example we had to take in account the
area we had to shoot in and what angle the camera
had to be at when trying to get the right shot
 When we were editing we had to take in account
how much we needed to cut off of a particular
shot, how much we needed to keep and keeping it
all together

6.  Feel as if our sequence was successful
 We worked well as a group and It was shown in our
end product, we edited everything where it should be,
with all our different shots evident in the sequence
 As well as that independently we worked out to had
add a slow motion effect into a clip in which we used
when throwing the paper down as it made the
sequence look even more dramatic
 The only problem we may have encountered was
perhaps we rushed our filming as we had a set time of
1 hour 30 minutes so it made us rush our work a bit
and maybe not got our shots as good as they could
have been, so next time I would like to give ourselves a
bit more time so we can make our shots even better the
next time.

7.  I have learnt many key skills with camera work, such as
how to shoot, how to set it up safely on a tripod, which will
be key in future tasks
 I have also learnt many key skills with editing, how to cut
shots, how to move shots, how to slow down or speed up
the pace of shots
 I also learnt how to manage my time when editing as when
we started to edit we finished with plenty of time to spare
 Also learnt how to work with a complete group of people I
don’t know very well to create a successful end product,
using key communication and listening skills so we finished
with the best possible end product.
 . As well as that it helped me be more organised as we had
to keep all of our planning, all of our group, and all of our
timings together and organised in one

8.  We used the adobe premier software for editing which
is a software I have never used before so everything I
did on their was newly learnt
 I learnt how to cut the shots smaller, how to move the
shots to where I want to put them, how to zoom in and
out of the timeline, how to slow and speed up the shot,
and in learning this it helped me successfully edit my
sequence
 .We made decisions of cutting our shots by keep
watching a clip over and over again until we got the bit
we wanted then we cut it to the piece we needed
 we managed our time very well as we finished with
time to spare and it had a successful end product.
