4th March Media Lesson - what we learned

On Friday 4th March, we had another media lesson where we had to continue with our editing, and we had already managed to get just over 2 minutes of footage into our thriller. However, when we looked at the feedback we were given from Amar, we thought it would be a good idea to redo the first part of the film. To do this, we went and took an extra shot where a cop and a person at Bentley Road are having a conversation over the phone, but you cannot see either of the characters' faces. This part of the thriller was added to explain the reason why the cops are searching a house at Bentley Road, and from this lesson we learned that if we are taking extra shots in college, it is important to consider your location, because you want to make sure you pick a location that is quiet where you won't be disturbing anyone and where you won't be disturbed yourself, as we found that the location we picked in the college had a lot of people walking past us and therefore this was distracting for our actors. Also, we learned that when we are filming in an open area (outside) we have to make sure that the wind doesn't take all the sound out of the character's voices, otherwise the audience can't hear anything the characters are saying.
