Preliminary Task, Errors.

During our shooting of the preliminary task we had overcome many problems and errors throughout. The most basic one was the actual shooting, as we were shooting in a corridor we kept on getting people walking straight past the camera as it was hidden behind a wall, so a lot of re takes had to be made there. We avoided errors, such as confusing the audience in the conversation is the 180 rule, if this is not aboded by then there would be confusion as the audience would not understand who is on what side. Also to make the conversation free flowing, continuity editing had to be good and had to reverse shot reverse to understand who is talking and gives the perspective that you are there and are turning towards the person talking.
During editing we had a lot of takes to overcome throughout the process of it, to cut out any unwanted clips we used to ways of cutting these out, the first was to use a clip and if it is too long at the start then you could set it in a bit further and if it is not wanted at the end then u can set it out, so it cuts off any unwanted pieces of video. Another way is once you have the shots you want in the timeline and it feels that when it cuts from one shot to another then you can use the tool split clip when necessary and then this splits the clip into two parts and the unwanted part can be deleted then the gap can be closed. Also unwanted sound was a problem as the sound from the DV camera could pick up a lot of sound, the first course of action minimise this to as little as possibly was to remove shoes so that there will no large background noise. In the video afterwards there is always slight noise picked up throughout. We overcame this by putting a slight soundtrack in the background, the non-diegetic sound complemented the sequence and it blocked out the background noise.
