First film in sequence

Today we were again given a task that would develop our skill with film, we had to shoot a guided tour of the school, and due to the lack of editing we had to ensure it was filmed completely in sequence, this caused some confusion during film but overall I believe our group completed the task well.
We started with some brainstorming before putting our ideas on the storyboard. The whole group agreed that a usual tour of the school would be a bit dull and that we had to mix it up a bit, as we didn't want the same results of every other group in the class, to settle this issue we decided to do the tour in a david attenbrough style documentry, in which a new student to the school embarks on his nerve racking first day, on this day he goes from shadowed outcast to accepted 'herd member'
Due to the lack of editing we had to improvise and use cuts in filming to give it an edited style, this ended badly in one scene in which some confusion resulted in too many cuts and a slight ruin to the narrative, this taught us always to review what we just filmed, so we can perfect the filming before we return for the whole class to judge our video

  1. Good start - look froward to the formal essay of all three groups' work.
