Juno Opening

This is Lara and mine recreation of the opening sequence of Juno.

We tried to incorporate many of the same props as the real version, such as the red hoodie, bottle and the tree in the first shot.

What did we learn about filming and editing?

We learnt a lot from this task in terms of filming shots. Some clips we may have shot for not a long enough time period, therefore the clip was shorter than in the real version. We found that the hardest thing about filming was keeping the camera steady. We just used hand filming because we didn't have a tripod or stand to use. This meant that some of the shots were a little bit wobbly, so we had to edit that occordingly.

Did we use any effects?

In the clip where I am walking towards the camera at 0:21, I was walking too fast so we slowed the clip down so it was longer and I wasn't walking as fast. This was a useful tool. We also incorporate some simple effects to make it look more like a cartoon.

What went well in terms of filming and editing?

In terms of filming, I think the amount of times we shot each clip was good. We shot every shot a couple of times at least, therefore we had a few to choose from. On the opening shot, we redid it about 5 times to make sure we had a good clip.

What could have gone better?

I think if we had a tripod and the camera was steadier it would have made the scene better but despite that I think we made a reasonable professional production.
