Filming and Editing

During the filming and editing process, my group and i were finding it difficult to use the cam-corder on the certain shots and angles we wanted. For example, when we wanted to use high angle shot for one of are scenes we could not get the cam-corder to go very high. And because we are using the camera by hand are clips seem shaky because the cam-corder is not steady. The planning of location was also difficult because we changed locations more than once so we could not edit the clips together other wise there would be a loss of continuity editing when we finally found the correct place to film in that also caused a problem, the area we were filming in (Brick lane) is very busy so it was disturbing our filming for example, when filming in the alley way cars repeatedly went by which meant we had to wait so we can film the murder scene.

My group's filming later became successful because when filming again at the right time there wasn't really much of a disturbance, we were also able to get across to the audience what we planned to get across. The camera angles we use e.g. close ups and mediums shot fitted well with the scenes. We also used the tripod most of the time instead of holding the camera while filming which helped.

When editing the film together there were a few problems, starting with cutting the clips at a certain point to fit in with the rest of the clips, also the sound in the background of the scenes as we wanted a quite setting for the scenes, these problems were all fixed because we had double of each clip therefore, when one clip did not go well we where able to work on the other. I also added extra effects such as fade just before the female victim is assaulted which closed up the gap between the murder scene and the scene with the female victim running. which improved the problems we had with all the scenes
