preliminary task

When doing our video we did a couple of things wrong. The main thing we did wrong was when filming we moved the camera a lot from place to place, doing this meant that the camera angle was never in the same place so that made it difficult to edit and didn't look like a conversation was taken place. However we made it work and now it looks good. 
Next time we film we will mark on the floor where the camera is so that when we need to use the same camera angle we will not the exact position it was in to start with or we will film all the shots that require that camera angle there and then, this will not only save us time but will allow all the angles to be the same.
The next thing that went wrong was the positions of the people. When filming Jay sitting down he put his arms by his side but when we did the next shot he put his hands on his lap. We didn't realise this until we edited the video. This makes the cut look really bad and makes it look like it’s not real as it doesn’t look a conversation is taking place. We will improve this Next time we film by making sure we know what the actors are doing and their positions so that the conversation looks like it’s one free flow. We will also make sure the actors stay perfectly still and that we can move the camera quicker to the next position so that the actors are in the same position as they finished the previous scene.
We are very happy and pleased with our continuity editing. The walking through the door part works very well and flows freely. We made it look good by filming the entire walk through of the door from both sides so that we could edit the middle part out. This technique worked really well. We are pleased with most of the other shots as well that made our video finished.
