I have learnt that files stored on a digital camera can be stored in different locations within the camera. This meant that when my team and I were going to download what we had already filmed we could not find it. Later we discovered that it had been saved in a different section within the memory files. When we found this it was easy to download to our computer. In future we should make sure that we use the same area to save having to repeat this procedure.
I also learnt that we could block out bits of the film so the audience cannot see it. For example, we were watching the scene where Munro was comforting Eirin and through the door other pupils were visible, we thought that we would have to re-film but the teacher showed us how to block out certain parts. Therefore we can create the effect that it is just the zombies and un in the building. We also had to block a window in this scene as it was casting light into the shot and the audience would have ben able to see cars and people just outside and again, and this would have ruined the atmosphere.
Finally I learnt that editing is key as scenes can be edited in and out. For example, we realised that we had not actually filmed any zombie scenes so we managed to film a scene with two zombies and edited it in to where we wanted within the time frame of the film. Later we decided to add further zombie scenes to give the effect of there being lots of zombies. We also needed to show Anna and how she died within the narrative. To this end we had to edit out a scene where James's character asked where Anna was. So we engineered a scene where Anna was eaten as she was absent on one of the days filming. I am now able to edit in music, title and credits.
