The Test Shoot

This Thursday we did a test shoot of our idea. It took us about 30 minutes to film and then we spent the rest of the lesson roughly editing it. Obviously when we shoot and edit the real thing it will take us much longer and we will use a Black Magic camera instead of our phones, so we knew this test shoot would not be fully reflective of how our actual sequence will look. However it was still a very helpful process as it   gave us a chance to practice our filming skills. It also meant that we developed our teamwork skills and we were able to see how well our idea worked in practice rather than just in theory.
Now that we have edited this test shoot (which is shown below) we can see that our idea may be too basic and thus boring to watch and so we may need to think of a way of building up more tension for the audience. However thanks to this test shoot we now all have a much clearer picture of how our sequence will look and it will be useful when we present our idea to Matt as he will have a visual presentation of it.
