Test Footage

L3 TEST FOOTAGE - Louis, Charna and Hannah from cmdiploma on Vimeo.

Here is our test footage we did to fit the animatic. During this lesson I started working on the digipak while they got the footage, and then helped with the editing. Also in that lesson, I helped Ali's group with their test footage, by going to the music room and getting the instruments again, opening the drama room for them, and also being a performer.

Thanks to everyone in the class for being in our test footage, because it really helped us think about camera angles, lighting etc.

With our test footage I really liked how we cut it quickly at the beginning between locations. The card shots work really well and I think in the real thing we should use more of that. Hannah performed really well, and the 'dukes up' intro to her on the stage worked well. The audience didn't quite go as planned because we wanted a different setup such as tables and chairs like a restaurant, not like a school assembly. This is because, as we are filming in a school hall, we need to make it clear that we're not trying to make it look like a school hall, we'll probably need more lighting to sort this out.

I think as test footage this edit worked really well, it's better that we focused on the first 30 seconds rather than attempting the whole thing because we got the opportunity to edit well.
