Editing-The interviews
The document summarizes the interviews and cutaways filmed for a documentary about shoes and the shoe market. For each interview, the filmmakers had to cut out unnecessary parts like repeated information, technical issues, or questions in order to create a concise narrative. They also took additional cutaway footage related to what was discussed to include at jump cuts. Some interviews required multiple takes or had issues with lighting or audio that needed editing. Overall, the goal was to condense over 9 minutes of footage for some interviews down to the most relevant and non-repetitive parts within their 5 minute time limit.

Preliminary task evaluation
1) The group's original preliminary task filming took 2 hours and would have been around 2-3 minutes long, but they lost all the footage when it wasn't uploaded to their computer in time.
2) They hastily filmed a second preliminary task during a media lesson to meet the deadline, which took only 20 minutes and lacked the quality and detail of the first attempt.
3) The second task had a different storyline and location from the original horror drama due to the change in circumstances, and featured only the two main actresses since the main actor was unavailable.
Production day diary four
The film crew met at 3pm at Abi's house to refilm scenes from their horror film that needed improvement due to low light or other issues. They refilmed scenes of the characters walking home from school and scenes in the alleyway and park. The lamp post in the park broke during filming so they had to use phone flashlights instead and change their filming plans. Overall the refilling went well and the crew was happy with the improved footage and ready to begin editing.
Filming
Sophie Moran filmed various elements for her documentary about shoes over multiple locations and sessions. She captured vox pops by asking people in shopping areas about their favorite shoes, which took a long time due to many people declining to be filmed. She also filmed walking montages in a shopping center by placing the camera low to capture people's shoes as they walked. Several interviews were filmed, some requiring multiple takes or sessions to ensure adequate lighting, sound quality, and developed responses from interviewees. Cutaway footage showing shoes and related items was self-filmed to complement each interview.
Filming Diary
Group 9 filmed additional scenes to wrap up their horror film. They shot scenes in a hallway, living room, and outside a house. While the rainy weather helped the gloomy atmosphere, it also presented challenges like closing the equipment office and keeping gear dry. They encountered issues accessing college equipment but were able to use a personal camera. Overall they captured needed footage but may need pickup shots depending on quality.
Evaultion
The research done before filming helped the student understand different camera angles, sound effects, and mise-en-scene techniques to use. Pre-production included a storyboard, treatment, call sheet, and location recce. Filming involved the student acting as a main character while others directed and operated cameras. Feedback on the short film was mixed, praising editing and music but noting a confusing storyline and audio delay. Feedback on the horror-themed poster was also mixed, with positive comments on imagery matching the film's theme but negatives around font readability and page size.

The document summarizes various interviews conducted for a documentary project. Several interviews had to be re-filmed due to issues with framing or microphone visibility. Cutaway footage was also collected at some locations to provide relevant visuals to accompany the interviews. However, some cutaway footage could not be used due to lack of permission from parents of individuals filmed. One interview in particular with a radio host was successfully framed and can be used in the documentary.

Sophie evaluated her shoot day for a music video. She felt nervous in the morning but relaxed once setting up. Her group arrived at 8:30am for a schedule briefing. Sophie's key roles included directing, camera operating, makeup, and costumes. Sets included Rothko paintings, an underwater scene, a maze, and doodles. The underwater scene and lighting for Rothko and doodles turned out particularly well. Issues like an late arrival and uncomfortable posing were solved. Sophie wishes the Rothko set had more rehearsal for better continuity.
Question 7
The document reflects on what was learned from completing a preliminary scene that demonstrated film techniques, and how those lessons were applied to a larger film production. Key lessons included improving continuity, planning locations in more detail, and developing shot reverse shot techniques. Mistakes with lighting and breaking cinematography rules in the preliminary scene helped the filmmakers improve those elements in their full production. Overall, the preliminary task provided valuable experience that increased the quality and ambition of their final film project.

Filming our documentary pictures
- 1. Filming Our Documentary ‘Pets at Home’ By Melissa Edwards & Hannah Mealor & Eve Blakemore
- 2. Filming in the pet shop, we took it in turns to film different parts of the pet shop for our cutaways getting as many shots as possible that will match the interview that was set out. This was all hand held camera work and used a variety of shots such as panning, zooming, tilts etc. What went well was that the animals were very active and we were able to get exciting and entertaining shots for example the parrot dancing. What didn’t go so well is that because it was hand held some shots were shaky. During this we used the HD kit.
- 3. When filming Mr Warren with his love of chickens and other pets, these pictures show us setting up making sure he is in the right place, we decided it would look better if he held one of the chickens which we did during the interview. We did a variety of shots such as a medium close up and a mid- shot. What didn’t go so well is that he look towards the camera a few times so will need a lot of cutaways. What went well is the mise-en-scene and the camera shot. Melissa filmed the interview while Hannah was asking the questions. During this we used the HD kit.
- 4. We all went to film the breeder, while Melissa and eve set up Hannah went though the questions with him. We filmed him in his house in his own living room were the dogs he breed were born. During this filming we didn’t realise the sound wasn't working so we had to go back and do it again, this time we checked twice to see if everything was working. We used the HD kit. Unfortunately our pictures have been deleted so we are unable to show you us filming. Unfortunately our pictures have been deleted so we are unable to show you us filming.
- 5. When we went to film Ruth the vet, Melissa set up the camera and eve went though the questions with the vet before starting the interview. The only thing wrong with this was that the mise-en-scene wasn't very good as it had nothing to do with a vets. During this we used the HD kit. Unfortunately our pictures have been deleted so we are unable to show you us filming.
- 6. We filmed the opening titles at Melissa’s house. All three off us went here, Hannah set up the camera, while Melissa and eve were telling the dogs what to do. We used the HD kit and did it as hand held camera work. Unfortunately our pictures have been deleted so we are unable to show you us filming.
- 7. When filming the vox pops, Melissa filmed while Eve asked the questions and Hannah took pictures. We asked people around Liscard while they were shopping, out of about 15 people we asked only 5 agreed to be filmed. After the people agreed we asked if they would put the microphone on so there was better sound quality. When doing this we used the HD kit.
- 8. When filming Hannah Jones, we all went to her house and decided the best place to film her was her bed room. We asked her questions about disliking pets, Hannah asked the questions and filmed while Eve took pictures and Melissa set up and ensured that the angle of the camera and shot was perfect. We used the HD kit for this interview.
