Finished Preliminary- Jessie J music video recreation.

We have now finished filming for our preliminary task and are now onto editing the finished piece. We are halfway through editing the final piece and will upload it as soon as we have finished. For editing the software the group have used is Premiere Pro CS6, this is the first time I have used the software and it has taken some time to get used to it. As me and Rachel were quite confused at the software we decided to switch to Serif Movie Plus as we were more knowledgeable about that software.

Preliminary- what have I learnt?

From filming our preliminary I have learnt we need to organise the day a bit more thoroughly as we were sometimes stuck on what to do next. I feel by organising more we would have been finished a lot quicker than we was, also if we had practiced the shots more thoroughly beforehand we would know what camera angles to use without having to keep relying on using the internet every time.

I've also learnt that it is essential to film more than you actually need because then you have a choice of clips to choose from when it comes to editing. By filming more clips you get more practice from them and can perfect them everytime you redo the shot.

As we relied on someone to have their youtube up the whole day everyones internet had ran out half way through filming therefore we were strugging on what shots to do as we didn't really learn them before filming. By writing down each shot or maybe printing our shot by shot powerpoint off we may have found it easier without using the internet and by printing them off we would have probably got more accurate clips.
