Overall, we felt that the preliminary task should have been less complex as our story line caused the video to be too long. Therefore, we had to cut it down so the audience did understand the full plot. We managed to save our production with the editing as we were able to use a wide variation of effects to polish it off. If we were to do it again, we would use a different setting as you could hear background noises from other adjoining classrooms which disturbed the overall sound of the task. Camera shaking was involved which was due to the difficulties we experienced with the tripod however, for our main task we will adjust the tripod so the movements on the camera are fluent and continuous causing our finished production to be flawless. Chiefly, we believe we still managed to confine to the brief which was having shown the 180 degree rule, shot reverse shot and the match on action within our filming. The filming was cut down considerably due to over filming which meant we lost a significant amount of our story line. The cuts and editing in the film gave it a fuller content and therefore, the plot became more intriguing to the viewer as it was fast moving and had a short duration. During our first experience on Final Cut Pro we found the editing software to be fairly simple to use however there is a lot that we have not discovered for example adding text into a production but we can add effects such as dissolving one edit into the next. We used Final Cut Pro to transform the look of our film into black and white giving it a heightened intensity and a better quality finish. We found it hard finding how to transform the presentation into black and white but we used the desaturation effect. Next time, we will use a wider variety of camera angles to portray the different meanings behind them. We would also find better quality costumes and props that will make the cast look more realistic and in character. Instead of filming the production over one day we will take time in our main task to film it over several days. This will give us the chance to use the correct location and timing throughout the day. We understand that in our next production we have to refine the camera shots as the overall look of the production was amateurish.

In our first group meeting we discussed many different genres including romance. heartbreaks, crime, thriller, comedy and drama. In these genres, we found different scenarios for example, break ups , hit man, first dates, interviews, hospital appointment, general conversations or friends reuniting. We finally decided to choose the genre of crime and scenario of a policeman undercover as a hit man catching a jealous wife plotting to kill her husband. Ending in her paying off the 'hit man' and him catching everything on tape.
