1. What have you learned about Adobe Premiere and DV Cameras? What difficulties did you face with the technology and how did you solve them?:

I have learnt alot about how to use Adobe Premiere and DVcamera's, this includes the following of which the software used i lean rt how to cut certain clips in order to get the correct snippet of a clip in order for a sequence of events to move smoothly and unnoticeable. this meant also learning how to cut clips correctly to the exact amount of time in order to keep their perception of continuity editing. As a result i have learned how to create certain media like effects using editing software. With the DV Camera's i have learnt how to get the correct type of shot, including getting the correct position of the talent in the frame, which in this case would be the following of which making sure that the heads of the talent were in the top of the frame. I have also learnt to make the camera position is not too far away, otherwisethe sound levels will be too quiet and will not work, however these can be adjusted if a little too quite on the editing programme which i also learnt.
The following problems we ran into feature the following of which as there were only 2 people in our group, and know one was free to do the acting, we had to fix the camera to a tri-pod and then record whilst running into the frame, doing our lines, and then running back to stop the camera recording, whilst then re-positioning it to a new area and repeating the same process, however this was good in the long run as it meant that the camera place was consistent and it gave us good practise of editing on the software program.

Continuity editing was more difficult than it looked because it meant getting the correct position of the character from the one angle to the next, including making sure they were in the right place, this taking into account the position of background objects, such as how far the door was open etc. Whilst editing it turned out that it took a few attempts in order to get the correct motion of continuity editing.
i think that our video is pleasing and features all the technical aspects which is required for our video.

What would you do differently if you were to produce another film?
If i were to prduce teh film film the next time, i would get better actors in order to play the parts, i would also include a btter story line as well as getting somone to hold the camera. i would also make sure teh the audio quality would be better, meaning that this would mean the use of mic's or holding the camera's closer to the actors.
