Media Prelim: Question 4

What factors did you have to take into account when planning, shooting and editing?

When planning, the main factor we had to take into account was the location of our sequence, as we had to choose a setting where we could fit the camera, tripod and both actors so that it didnt look cramped and so that we could fit everything into the shot. We eventually chose one of the edit suites in the Media Block, as it was long enough for the character entrance and we could fit all our equipment into the room easily. We also had to take into account the other groups, as they would be shooting in the same area and we had to make sure they weren't in the background of any of our shots.
When shooting and editing, we had to take into account background noise. We had to make sure that if there was any background noise in our shots that it wasn't too distracting and that it didn't suddenly cut our midway through an edited shot in our final sequence.
