My first target is to make sure that sound is continuous and suitable.
The second target is I should organise time efficiently so that filming time can be minimal and editing time can be as long as possible to get a better outcome.
My third target is to Plan the story board better.

Evaluation
Continuity editing is the predominant form of editing that is used to immerse the audience into the story. The main parts to continuity are 180 degree rule, eye line match, shot- reverse shot and match on action.
These two shots show shot- reverse shot, an eye line match and the 180 degree rule.
These shots show a match on action.
We used a digital SLR camera to take the pictures for our photo story board. I found the camera easy to use because I had used one before and also because we used the automatic function on the camera which meant that we didn't have to change any settings. To get these images onto our story board we used the sd card to transfer the images onto the computer and then into photoshop.
I feel that we could have been more organised in knowing exactly when we were going to film each shot so that we could get filming done in the shortest amount of time possible so that we could get more time editing. To improve on this we could have written a timeline of some sort where we would write the times and dates of when we would film each shot.
It has been helpful using blogger to display our work because it was easy to organise work and present it well.

I found using the digital video camera was quite easy as I had encountered these before. I was also confident with using the camera with a tripod. However, it was a bad idea look at any work we had filmed as it could have meant that we would tape over our existing film.
We then uploaded the footage into onlocation using a fire wire. Onlocation allowed us to capture the parts of the film we wanted. We then opened these files on Premier.
To edit the clips we used Premier. I found this program difficult to use at first but quickly became comfortable using it. To cut the clips down to the length we needed, we used the cropping tool. I think the outcome could have been better maybe if we had more time to edit it. We didn’t face many difficulties; however it was quite difficult because some shots were quite short and it became hard to crop them.
To get the video onto my blog, we first had to put them onto YouTube so we could then copy and paste the URL into our blog.

Post-Production
Editing the clips was quite difficult to start with as I had never used the editing software before, however I quickly became used to the software and was able to use it more successfully. Here is the finished task:

Production
Filming the interview went quite well. We knew each shot that we had to shoot because we had the story board to show us. However, most shots required more than one try to get them perfect, especially shots involving dialogue where the actors would forget their lines etc..
Pre-production Task
Before the preliminary task we created a photo-story board of the interview. This included the shots types and also any dialogue in each shot.The story board allowed us to know what shots we had to to film during the filming process. Below is the photo story board we used:
