what worked well and would could have worked better.
first of all I thought that me, Zach & Luke worked very well as a amateur film crew. trying to find a location for our short seen proved to be quite difficult due to several factors, 1.) some places had too much background noise and made trying to record dialogue tricky 2.) In some shots there was to much background movement, for example if we filmed in the common room, its likely people wouldn't stay in the same place, so when we filmed over the shoulder shots, people would just appear and re-appear whenever. But eventually we found our location, the main library, we could film our sequence with relative ease and not have to think about background noise and extras. Next came the filming itself, we borrowed several cameras from the library, not because we were greedy but because half of them didn't work! but we managed to make do. Within the library a scene would take place where me and Luke engaged in riveting dialogue whilst Zach filmed all of the necessary shots, such as shot reverse shot, over the shoulder shot (180 degree rule) and some wide shots.
Next came the editing, perhaps easier said than done, but with the help of a simple guideline we managed to stich our film together, into a masterpiece in my opinion. I think with a couple more editing tasks I will become quite slick with the iMovie on the mac.
