The first time we went out to film, we managed to got some scenes and shots filmed which are going to be included into our film opening sequence and some shots of which have been left out as they could have been more improved and therefore look more professional.
Prior to going out filming, the group had planned thoroughly which shots we wanted to go out and film in our first session, so we had a good idea as to what we were going to get done. Some of the shots we done came out as we had expected and were good enough to be put into the opening sequence, but a few of the shots didn't work as well as we anticipated, so we didn't generally get as much filmed as we had liked. With some of the shots, they looked and seemed good enough to be put into the opening sequence but when they were uploaded onto the Mac, they didn't actually look good and instead of looking professional they looked rather amateur. A number of the shots did actually look really nice however and turn out even better than expected.
There was some experimenting with the different editing techniques and effects, but as we are not that familiar with using cameras and final cut express this could only be taken so far, so instead we took the decision to stick to the basics, as trying to make it look fancy could end up in it looking very poor.
After we had went out to film we then uploaded the footage onto final cut express, were the footage could then be viewed at a higher quality, this was useful as we got a better look at what the shots would look like.
Overall i felt that the first session of when we went out to film was useful as we got some of our shots done and we got a better understanding of how to work the camera and how to use final cut express.
