Editing & Rationale

Over the course of the last four weeks we have gone through various such as planning, attending semiars, leactures, remaining in constant contact with each other and undertaking the various tasks we were assigned individualy.
Finally afters weeks of planning my group finally managed to shoot our film called "Ticket" and this took place in the Aboretum Park which is just a few minutes walk from NTU city's Waverley building. Before we could begin to film we all headed to the camera & equipment office as we all need to know how to handle the camera equipment in the correct way so none of it got damaged in the process.

Once this had all been sorted out we were then able to take the equipment with us however we did encounter a minor problem, due to illness our actresss decided to pull out of film and as this was short notice our director stepped in and took over.

Also as a result this meant we all took turns in filming scenes and assisting our director (actress for the day) to make sure things ran as smoothly as possible. However it wasnt just actress who couldnt help us out in the end we had to find a replacement actor at short notice as we were told the original one wouldn't be able to film.

In terms of how the shoot went dispite the cold temperature I felt it had gone fairly well, evetryone managed to work well together and we were each on hand to help each other out with any small problems or quiries. However I do feel that one piece of a equipment called the runner (it attaches itself to the tripod) fairly difficult to work with during the course of the day, I felt the reason behind this was because prevously I had only ever used a tripod for my first piece of group work my one shot film.

Despite this shooting our mini film was fine, we managed to complete it just over three hours and then spent the remainder of our afternoon recording the voice over part of the script.
This afternoon during our two hour workshop the group begun overseeing the editing process of our film and tomorrow we will be hoping to put sound to it as well.
