Editing Task - Second Shoot

For this second shoot, we now knew we needed to think things out further, we started off by coming up with a Shot list for our new footage.

Shot List:

- Establishing shot of Doors, before camera begins zooming
- When the two characters enter through doors, the 'child' is shown being behind the 'mother'
- Match on Action used in this scene
- We see the character in the classroom as we are introduced to the 'teacher'
- The conversation between the parent and the teacher makes use of the shot-reverse-shot 
- Scene ends with the son looking down in disappointment, makes use of a piano instrumental, accompanied by a fade out in the end.

From filming this we realised that again we failed to come up with sufficient planning. Some of our cast were not the most suitable actors, as we had frequent bursts of laughter. We did however all manage to get more confident in our use with cameras.


Teacher Analysis - Due to my blog originally being made in pages rather than posts, the comments made on the removed pages became invisible, there for I decided to copy over the comment to the related post.

Level 1: 15/60 A lot of work is to be done in your understanding of how to use the camera to engage the audience and subsequently your shot selection and the reasons for them. I have the sense you have simply pointed the camera to film, instead of pointing the camera to really construct meaning in relation to the plot and story. You attempt match on action but it is not executed well, and further understanding of this technique is needed. There needs to be more fluidity across the shots to engage the audience into the idea of time passing. Your sense of clipping and timing in the editing process needs a lot more attention to detail to make the sequence seamless. Continuity is lost as you move from characters walking to a shot of the feet which start from a standing position. There is no actual SRS evident, and this particular technique is one you need to address. Your technical understanding of camera use is in need of a lot of further consideration. SRS is from the POV of each on

My Response: In response to our feedback, I have realised that there is much more research needed to be done into the process of filming, we need more experience with filming and editing and a group. We need to further look into alternative shots we can use while filming, and also remember to experiment while filming to see if we can find a better angle or shot. Our main flaw I found was our lack of planning. Without a proper plan, we only got a basic film in the end, worth few marks overall. This meant we would have to put much greater efforts into the future Thriller film.
