Did you encounter any difficulties? If so, what were they and how did you over come them?
We had quite a lot of difficulties in the operation of the video camera, because we were not familiar with using such advanced technology we hit a few bumps. Once we had filmed a section, we tried to use the 'playback' option but this ended in it deleting some of our footage. To overcome this difficulty we re-filmed the footage that was deleted on a simpler device but tried not to compromise on the quality of the shot. I would fully examine and get to know how to use the camera and always have a back up when filming next time.
Another issue was when we tried converting the footage onto the IMac the file format wasn't correct. This was because we were saving them into the wrong area so all we had to so was re upload them and save them onto final cut pro to make the files valid to use.
The Final issue that we encountered was that we did not account for how much time we needed for each section (filming and editing). Because we had not had a lot of experience in filming scenes before we did not realise the measurable amount of time it would take to get all the cast members together and shoot each scene. In order to allow time for editing we joined with the other group to split the work load but also gain more cast members to fill gaps in the scene. By working collaboratively with the other group, it was much easier to get shooting done quicker and understand what needed editing and who would do what.
