Question 3

Did you encounter any difficulties? If so, what were they and how did you over come them?

We encountered quite a few difficulties when using the video camera as this was the first time anyone in our group had used one, so no one was very familiar with the device and how to use it properly. This resulted in us losing some of our footage while trying to use the "playback" option. To overcome this difficulty we re-filmed the footage on an iPhone. However, unfortunately this footage was of a lower quality. Next time, we will be more familiar with the camera and how to operate it so hopefully this won't happen again.


Another issue was when we tried converting the footage onto the mac, the file format wasn't correct. This was because we were saving them into the wrong area so all we had to so was re upload them and save them onto final cut pro to make the files valid to use.


The final difficulty we encountered was our time management and not realising how much time it takes to cut and edit the footage. As this was our first time in creating a music video, we also underestimated the timing of how long it would actually take to get everyone together to film all the different scenes. In order to allow time for editing we joined with the other group to split the work load but also gain more cast members to fill gaps in the scene. By working collaboratively with the other group, it was much easier to get shooting done quicker and understand what needed editing and who would do what.
