Preliminary Task Reflection

The task went really well. However, there was some issues. When watching back a shot that we had just taken the camera either glitches or the sound was not loud enough. This meant that we either could not hear what we were saying and we had to re shoot certain shots so that we could hear what we were saying. We re-filmed some scenes a few times if we were not happy with the outcome, for example, if the sound quality was muffled or if somebody laughed. Besides that, the task for us went really well, we didn't have an major filming issues. However, if we were to re-film again I would make sure that I spoke louder and clearer so that I am able to be heard more clearly on camera. I would also, potentially use a dictaphone instead next time and then add it tot he shots taken.
In my opinion this task was useful because now I know to be mindful of the sound quality and lighting when we film our main task.

Lastly, the only main difficulty which we did face was, when it came to editing shots together. For example, there was a shot where I came from a different angle (in two different shots) and it would have looked strange because in the previous shot I came from another angle. However, fortunately with the editing, we were able to make this look invisible.
