Preliminary task

This is a preliminary task that i did alongside Nicole, Rebbecca and Rayna. Our clip is about a teacher who is being stalked by the ghost of a girl who she used to bully when she was in school. none of us have really worked on filming a sequence before so it was a challenge to all of us and we never knew what to expect from it all. we took turns in filming various shots and sharing ideas, we worked very well together and we now all have more stronger knowledge and understanding of how to film a sequence. however during the editing process we found it quite difficult none of us have used imovie before so it was a bit of a struggle. the main difficulties i had when editing my clip was that it was to cut each shot down enough so that they could flow into each other without making them all look as if i just jump cuts. if i could have another chance to improve this sequence i would try to finish on time and make sure that i add things like transitions and sound effects to it because when watching this back you can tell that it hasn't been properly been looked at during the editing stage. there a plenty of mistakes and continuity errors that need to be corrected for example at 2:41 there's a lady standing in the back ground and then a few seconds later she has disappeared. also the lighting was quite poor from about 1:10 and onwards. on the whole i think that our thriller sequence is ok for a first attempt. the things that i enjoyed most was actually filming the scenes because i got to share some of my ideas and opinions with my group and experiment with cinematography and i also enjoyed adding the sound track to my work because i like the fact that i got to play around with the music a cut and copy different parts to make it fit in with the sequence the way i wanted it too.
