Reviewing the footage

Today we looked at our footage we collected over the previous week. As a group we were happy with most of the footage we shot. But, as with everything, somethings disappointed us.

Some of the footage we shot on location was quite shaky. We could have used the tripod to make it look better. However, we do have footage which demonstrates we can use a camera and keep it stable so the shaky camerawork will look like a style choice, as we originally intended it to do so.

Another problem was when I was shooting at the London Eye. As I said in a previous post, I was worried that the camera was jogged slightly when I showed the Police officers what I was filming. When reviewing the footage, looking at the first shot and the final shot I can see that there is not a visible difference and it shouldn't be noticed when it is sped up.

Finally, I realised that that an exposition shot was not taken, we forgot to plan it in our shot list. Although it is just one shot it is quite a vital part of continuity editing. However, I think we will have enough footage to sort something out.

Now all the footage is up on the computers we are ready to start the edit. Before we start however, we need to draw out a final storyboard. We had a rough one accompanying our shot list but we feel that a good storyboard will make the editing process much easier.
