Juno Opening Sequence reflection


Group- James Clifford,Becky Stanway and Emma Rolfe

What did you learn about filming and editing?

I learnt that when using the camera the holder must have a stable hand, as evident in our film most shots are very shaky due to the fact that we had nothing stable holding the camera. We also found it extremely difficult to get the precise shots for the right amount of time, we kept referring to the video to make sure we had the correct angles. We also learnt what shots were needed when for example 'long shot', 'extreme close up' and 'mid long shot' to name a few. I also learnt that it easier to have over shot and cut it then to have under shot and go out and re shoot.

Did you use any useful effects?

Whilst editing we only used one effect, 'Cineon Converter' this effect made the clip more of a cartoon which mimicked the Juno opening.

What went well in terms of editing?

In terms of editing there was a lot of cropping and moving clips about because we filmed out of sequence so we had to move clips to the correct part of the sequence. We tried to get the clip length and accuracy of the shot as close to the opening of Juno as possible, this was very time consuming because we had to watch the Juno clip then watch ours and figure out what bits need cutting. At this point we were very lucky to have overshot so we had enough footage, it was also another change to get to grips with using Premiere and all its features.

What could of gone better?

I feel that the transition of our Juno could of gone better. Our shots jump from one to the next. The Juno trailer shots despite or slide into one and other. We were unable to tilt left and right and pan. Another thing that could of gone slightly better is the cameras stillness. Most shots were very shaky, we could of used a stabiliser to keep the shots still.
