Stephanie and I sat down to look at our footage and have decided was need to reshoot everything. We have decided to do this using a better quality camera and to reshoot some shots with a different angle. We also had some continuity issues we needed to sort out with would be achievable when doing this reshoot.
These are the results of the re shoot -
Stephanie and myself filmed all of the footage again at my house which we felt much more confident with after filming than the first time. This is because we had learnt from the previous mistakes me have made and we made sure everything including continuity was correct for each shot. We also learnt that the equipment we used in the first shoot was decreasing the quality of the shots so we used a much higher quality camera and we resolved the crooked camera angle by using a different tripod.
We spent another seven hours filming which was probably because we have taken much more care and consideration over what we were doing which meant we had better results at the end of the shooting schedule. We have however come into a problem with the Macbook because of the better quality camera using AVI files which Premiere Pro wasn't connecting with. Eventually, I found out that we would need to convert the files to MOV files which we needed Quicktime Pro to complete. We found it very frustrating because the Macbook we collected from school didn't have Quicktime Pro to convert the files. Finally, after finding a macbook which did have Quicktime Pro, we converted the files and were able to start editing. Stephanie and I found that our project would of run a lot smoother if we had had this extra week editing instead of waiting to collect another mac but it couldn't of been helped as we didn't expect this to of happened.
Overall, the shooting went well and the end result was much better than our first shots. We were very pleased with the filming as the quality and continuity was much improved in comparison to the first set of shots.
