Recently we have been making a practice film in preparation for ouir task of making a thriller. The purpose of this was to familiarise ourselves with the cameras and equipment and practice different shot types and also learn better how to use final cut pro.

Our group decided to make a chinese action clip. We used many match cuts and close ups. We tried the approach of filming the same shot from many angles and then deciding during editing which ones we would use. Although this method was effictive in the end results it was also time consuming during the editing.


After having filmed our clip we needed to edit it using final cut pro. This got some good practice for us. Although the editing was succesful we took a longer time over it than other groups. This practice was good for us to be come more used to final cut pro. After putting everything together we learned how to add a soundtrack which was good. It is important when adding a soundtrack that the music does not drown out the dialogue. Therefore you need to get the volume right.

Overall I am happy how the video turned out and feel more prepared for making the thriller.
