Preliminary Practice Filming and Editing

Unfortunately, my group (Me, Dom & Lucy) had technical difficulties when uploading our video footage and so we've had to edit Connie and Kiara's footage instead; nonetheless they still created all three of the shots my group tried to achieve. The basic storyline involved Kiara's character misplacing her keys and discovering that Connie had taken them; Kiara then chases her as Connie tries to steal her car. It all ties up with a somewhat comic ending when Kiara punches Connie leaving her knocked out on the floor.

My group edited the footage to create a smooth finished product; adding in sound effects to highlight the slightly slapstick element of the film. This included a light-hearted, jazzy number as Kiara is introduced; and then later on, sounds that were meant to appear diagetic such as the punch noise (in order to enhance the finished film). The camera work, done by Connie and Kiara, but much like our original footage, involved match-on-action shots (when Kiara cannot find the keys in her pocket), various panning shots, and shot/reverse/shots (like the first confrontation) which applied the 180 degree rule.
