Portrait of Place - Equipment and Editing

The camera we ended up taking out from stores was the XM2.. Various problems occurred whilst we were shooting on location including the camera resetting its settings every time we turned the camera off and on again. Luckily James (who mainly controlled the camera) noticed this immediately so we were able to work around it.

The weather conditions and lighting conditions changed throughout the day, so when it came to the post-production stage we had to select each clip and adjust the brightness settings to make the final piece 'believable'.

We received some positive/critical feedback when showing our rough-cut of the video. We took the comments into consideration and altered our video accordingly. Luckily a vast majority of the footage we filmed was useable, this allowed us to create an almost '3 minute clip' (2 mins 58 seconds overall). The criticism we received included comments about some of the shots being 'fillers', so we adjusted this and included more shots that seemed to fit with what was happening on screen.
