Juno Practise Task

You are editing your own footage, how did the filming go?
I think our filming went well as we used the time wisely by using one and a half lessons to complete the Juno task to the best of our ability. Some issues did occur during filming though as it was difficult to get the angle right and know which way to face. As you can see in the video I'm going in the wrong direction to the original Juno video. Although I think the timing of the runners was successful and also when we panned up towards the telephone wires. 

Was your storyboard accurate?
My storyboard was accurate as we wrote about the positioning of the shots which were the same as the original Juno video. We also wrote about the timings which helped us know how long to video each scene for. Our drawings of each scene were also recognisable so we knew exactly what to do for each scene.

What were your strengths and weaknesses in the group?
The strengths within the group were being able to label how long each scene was meant to be recorded for and we gave ourselves a few seconds extra for each scene for any editing needed. We also had weaknesses within the group as some of the scene weren't recorded in the right direction and the camera wasn't also very still.

Did you get all the footage you wanted?
We filmed enough scenes with plenty of time within each scene to get enough footage for our task. We also knew which scene we wanted to stop filming at and made sure we did each scene that worked towards that end point. 

What technical skills - camera and premiere - did you learn?
I learnt that during filming you can track left to right or right to left. I also learnt about certain shots such as long shot, mid shot and close up. Tilt up and down was also an obvious skill. All these skills were used to complete our Juno task. 

How does it compare to the original?
Our Juno video didn't go as well as we wanted it to as we needed to do a lot of editing by slowing our clips down to make it in time to the original video and some of the angles and direction of our scenes weren't to their full potential as they didn't match the Juno video. 

What went well - What I learnt - What I will take with me to the next production
I think the communication between the group went well as we planned and organised what we needed to do and all agreed on the same things such as who was Juno. Choosing me to be Juno was a good choice as I had the same dark hair to match the original Juno video and we used the right clothing to make us look the same. I also learnt what to do better next time which was to check the timings of when we come into the scene and when to finish the scene etc.
