Post Production Preliminary Evaluation

Through our preliminary process, we faced a few problems with the camera we were using. We recorded our preliminary but had problems when we wanted to edit it as the camera was not compatible with the editing software we were using. We therefore had to record another preliminary using a different camera which was then successful.
We then started to crop the clips to make them the right length as we did not want clips that were too long as they would be pointless and become tedious. We then chose the music we would add to the video. We decided to use jolly background music as it fitted in with our light hearted video. We then looked at transactions and finally we added our names to the video.
The preliminary task has been very useful as we have learnt a lot about do’s and don’ts for our 2 minute thriller. For example, we have decided to use little or even no dialogue in our thriller because we don’t think it’s very effective and it takes away the professional feel of the film.
Overall we found that editing the preliminary was very useful to learn and get comfortable with using the camera and the editing software. It also worked well and really enhanced the clip.
