We spent this session finishing and tidying up our final clip for the preliminary task. Because me and Oliver did not get as much experience in editing as Sophie and Josh, they demonstrated what they had been taught to us and showed us how to change the audio so that it would match the clip. Afterwards, we made some minor adjustments to the clip such as removing the extra footage at the end because we were told it wasn't necessary. We then played the clip back numerous times so that we could check for any errors or in-corrections that may have been caused during the filming or editing stages.
This is our finished clip for the preliminary:
Overall I thought that our final clip came out very well with minor problems. The particular scenes which I found were the most successful were the clips of Sophie entering the room and sitting opposite Josh and the over the shoulder shot of Josh as we see his laptops screen. The scene of Sophie entering the room was handheld footage filmed by myself as I track behind her before she sits down opposite Josh. The footage was not too shakey and kept up with the characters movements well but it also kept in focus throughout the whole scene too so that there were no out of focus moments. The scene where the camera goes into an over the shoulder shot of Josh so that we could see his Laptops screen was a decent establishing shot. We placed the camera on a tripod and used a pan shot to go into an over the shoulder shot of Josh so that we could see the laptop in front of him. After we had established the over the shoulder shot, we used a zoom so that we could get a closer look at the laptops screen enabling us to see what was written on it. The footage was very still and kept in focus for the whole scene.
The scene which I thought could have been improved was the scene of Josh infront of his laptop as we use a tilt to show his character for the first time. The tilt seems to be going smoothly up until there is a slight jerk in the middle as the camera comes to a temporary hault. This scene I think could be improved if we re-film the tilt shot so that there are no shaken or delayed seconds of footage.
Having now completed our preliminary task, we moved on to watching clips on the internet of thrillers so that we could get an idea of what we could create for our main task.
I watched the following clip:
