Last week we had our first Crazy Eights practice, and it was a ton of fun. This year I am on the Film team, where we create a short film that has to be under five minutes. I think that this competition is a lot more fun then the broadcast competition. During the practice, we learned a lot of things like our team works well together, we should not use a boom mic to film, and that we need to work on our audio editing a lot.
I think that we worked together great as a team. There were no fights and everybody seemed to want to work together to get the job done faster. We also had three really good actors. Napua Canales had no problem doing any of the shots, even when she had to pretend to like another classmate. Another actor by the name of Serena put her own spin on some of the shots so that it would not be so boring. The final actor was good because he did not complain a lot.
We also learned a few things that we need to work on. We learned that filming our audio with a boom mic definitely does not work. It got way to much background audio that we had to use music to drown out. The boom also did not really catch what they were saying, so that was another bad thing.
We also need to work on balancing our audio levels. Our audio levels were all over the place. Sometimes you could hear nothing but the music. Other times you could only hear one person talking. With a little bit more precise editing, I think that we could make our video much better.
All in all, I think that it was a pretty good practice. We did a fairly good. There is a lot we could do to improve, especially with the audio. Other than that, it was a pretty good practice.
