STAGE ONE: ROUGH CUT
Putting everything together.
During this exercise, we had camera troubles. The first filming session, our cameraperson failed to... use the camera properly. She recorded everything we didn't want to record, and nothing that we did want to record. So, we had to shoot everything again.
We've learnt that we should make sure that the person holding the camera should know how to properly work it, before filming.
In the second camera shoot, our camera person failed to hold the camera still, and so, our final product was atrociously messy. The editing process was long and frustrating.
Two members of our group were absent during editing, so Tarryn and I were loaded with the majority of the hard work.
The two other people in our group deserve prep.
And to be fed to alligators.
Wearing meat suits.
On a Monday.
Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration.
But I am very disappointed with our rough edit, due to the messy camerawork. Some decent shots, ruined by awkward camera movements.
STAGE TWO: FINE CUT
Making everything flow.
Using the precision editor in iMovie, we edited our footage together so it flows continuously. We followed the 180ยบ rule well, considering we had 3 actors in scene, which made it more difficult. At one point, we did break the rule, but we added a shot to help indicate the cross of line.

Process & Evaluation - Harpreet
We used a wide range of shots- such as close up; 180 degrees rule; over the shoulder shot.
We tired to link different types of shot, without it jumping. The goal was to continuously edit all shots together so, it runs smoothly. However there were small mistakes, such as hair difference in some scenes, and hand movements. you can not notice the these mistakes, however it can effect the scene...
we also broke the 180 degree rule in one of the scenes without knowing, therefore we cut that bit out, as we also had another scene with the 180 degree rule.
We used tool and precision editing to make everything bit of shot clear, and smooth. And we made the sounds even, so every clip has the same pitch. no high or low pitches, this bit was quite hard to do, adjusting the colour made it more interesting and it also makes the audience think why it was done that way.
