Introduction to filming and editing

To start off the course we did 'The life of a Kit-Kat' and also filming about the 'Life of tea' both of which introduced us to the software we would be using. It was tricky at first to perfectly time shots so they flowed perfectly but once we started the second project we understood, on a basic level, how to edit footage so that it fitted well with our other shots. We worked well as a team to let everyone have a turn at filming and editing, giving us all the practice we needed before starting the filming/ editing process for our coursework. I think overall i gained a wider knowledge on the software we had to use and think that i could use it in the future to create an opening sequence to the best of my ability. As well as this,it taught us how to incorporate long takes and short takes and how to make them flow with the scenes.The action match was the hardest due to the fact that it required multiple shots which had to be synchronized otherwise, the entire video would have been ruined
