Initial Footage & Thoughts

We have completed our initial shoot and have begun editing it in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. This will be a very skeletal edit, with only a few barebone clips added in at this point in time. our video will acquire somewhat of a structure when we complete the main body of filming in the coming days and weeks.

Here is a screen capture of me previewing our initial clips and naming them. Clips I find unusable for whatever reason are red labelled and not deleted. It is essential that we keep all footage recorded in case we either forget an idea, need clips to fall back on, or want to assess what we did wrong and possibly re-soot the clip.


It is was essential that we completed an initial pre-shoot before tackling the main body of filming. Upon reflection, we have decided that my costume is not suitable for our video as the print is distracting. In future videos I will wear more discreet clothing, and I will also revise Billy's outfit before our next shoot.


I feel that overall, the shoot was very successful, with a small percentage of unusable clips. I feel that for the majority of shots, the camera work was top tier, with a little revision for shooting order and composition needed. I think it will be beneficial for us to construct a detailed storyboard before our next shoot so we can quickly and effectively record our shots in the correct sequence in good time. We used a 'scattergun' approach to filming our initial clips and need to be more organised next time.
