Preliminary Task, AHMED, PART 4

Day 4: Final Lesson Editing Preliminary Task and DVD Burning

At the beginning of next day’s lesson, Mr. Hull showed our preliminary task to the class. In addition to the choppy editing during the conversation piece, Nancy’s entrance in to the room needed to be reedited and extended. Overall, Mr. Hull’s decision to show the task to the class was a worthwhile experience as we gained an insight in to the thoughts and perspectives of the class members.

Shortly thereafter, the conversation piece was reedited and the shot of Nancy entering the room was extended. This reediting of certain aspects of the task, I feel, was good as it was a demonstration in some of the mishaps that occur during the editing process, and was, I feel, a worthwhile exercise in that we now know how to deal with events such as this during the editing of the opening to our fiction films.
Once the task had been edited, and the sound had been sweetened, we burnt copies of the task on to DVD. After watching the completed task on DVD, I was surprised by the quality of the camera equipment we had used. This is mainly because, as I have previously stated, the camera equipment used made the task look as if it had been shot on film, rather on video.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, was how my preliminary task was made. Below is the finished preliminary task:



Thank you very much for reading and watching.
