Today is the second class of the semester. We started filming our scenarios given in the previous class. The scenario that we had been given was of a person entering a room, having different angles of shots. I have encountered several problems during the process of filming. Some problems include not having enough experience with the camera and tape, which lead to filming over the footage that had already been present on the tape. I therefore learned that we should always finish filming before looking back at the footage that we have recorded.

After, we went back to the Multimedia Lab to edit our captured footage. I found that I very much enjoy the process of editing most. This is because I like to cut scenes, and add different effects into the captured clip.

Now, I very much look forward to the near future to improve my skills as an editor.

This is the first film class of the year. Ms Wong made a brief introduction on the different things that we are going to examine throughout this semester. Although I was not too familiar with film last year, I certainly found myself one of the more experienced students in class. As I took film studies during last year's second semester, I thought that I could further improve my filming skills this semester. Ms Wong told us that we are studying how to film to make it easier for ourselves to edit.

Editing has always been one of the processes that I like most in the process of creating a film. I found myself very much interested and I look forward to the coming semester!
