Evaluation for Third Day of Shoot

Evaluation:
Today, Lauren and I intended to have some of the footage, which we collected friday night, and put it together to have projected onto Lizzie! Due to implications we faced in the day we filmed later than we intended, such as being unable to find the right cable to extract the footage from our camera (as it was locked away) and gathering the footage together - taking longer than we intended.
Eventually, we extracted the footage from the camera and we were then able to save it in smaller chucks so that when it comes to editing we will be able to put the music video together alot easier. Due to the amount of footage we had, it took a long time to extract it. Once we had collected all of the footage from our film camera, we were able to take the more creative and visual shots and put them together in order to create the projection film onto Lizzie whilst she sings.
Putting the footage together took just over an hour (including the time it took to convert it into a Quicktime file). During the time when editing, we helped Lizzie to get her clothes and make up sorted out before filming!
Eventually, we brought down the equipment such as the laptop, USB Stick, tripod, camera and everything else down to the lecture theatre (at approximately) 3:30!
Luckily, everything was well prepped so we knew we were able to get it done within an hour or so.
We connected the laptop into the projector electrics and had it viewed alot larger onto the screen - We tested it out to see how effective it looked... and it looked pretty damn AMAZING.
The only problems we realised is the darker images didn't show lizzie very well - but the majority (lighter images) showed her up pretty well.
We did a variety of different shots (such as a wide shot and close ups) to create more variety in the music video.
We finished our filming til around 4:45, which we somehow finished at our intended time (since we were able to use the lecture theatre from 2:15 - 5:00)
