Filming and Editing (#3)

Today we had to complete our preliminary task. We continued filming until we had all the shots we needed. We used a lot of hand-held camera movement but also used the tripod several times to give a still effect. During filming, we used the 5 second rule (allow 5 seconds of recording before the action and 5 seconds after) so that we could add transitions when editing. After we had all the footage, we uploaded it to Final Cut Pro and began editing. We put together our final piece and added music. We were told that when we make our thrillers we would also have to create our own soundtracks. I think that the preliminary task was good as it allowed us to see each others strengths and weaknesses and what we should spend more time on when making our thriller.
