continuity task

because we have access to good quality cameras, we decided to do our continuity tasks again. the ones we did first time around weren't of a high enough standard so i was happy with the decision to redo them. it was also the first time i used the cameras so it was good experience and practice, getting to grips with the new equipment. 

the good quality cameras we used are the ones we're using for the film opening, so the continuity task was a way to practice with them. it was also a way to find out any issues with them so we'd be ready when we used them for the opening task.

problems with the camera:

the problems i found with the camera was that the microphones picked up surround sound so on the final cut of my sequence, there's a fuzzy sound throughout. we didn't use the wind guard during filming. if we used that it might hide the fuzzy noise. dialogue is too quiet as well but that's because we used the microphone on the camera. if we used the extension microphone, we could pick up sound better.

apart from sound i didn't have any other issues with the new camera. the picture quality is brilliant and the settings the camera has means that i can experiment and hopefully get some good results.
