Editing:
Before we could start filming we had to make a storyboard which would enable us to film smoothly and have guidelines to follow and stick by. Aliya created a storyboard with annotations at the bottom as shown in the picture to the left. We realised that when it came down to filming we had to make some changes to our storyboard as the shots we had imagined were not always possible to do. Once we finished filming we arranged to edit the footage we had at a later date. We uploaded the footage we took onto Imovie during our lesson to edit it quickly. We cut the film to the required minutes and added a slide at the beginning with the film title and credits. We feel there wasnt much to edit in this situation as it was a simple task to carry out. We had cuts in all the right places to ensure we didn't cross the line. We then uploaded it to the media archive after we finished.
Here is the final piece of our 'Have you fed the fish?' project:
How we could improve:
If we had to re-produce this task we would make many changes, although this was a good learning process for us we would elaborate on certain areas that didn't go quite as well as we had planned. Looking back now we realised we forgot to include an establishing shot which is essential as it creates an atmosphere to almost welcome the audience into the film or project in this case. An establishing shot is important as it sets the location and allows the audience to understand where the characters are. When you consider the location it actually comes across as very essential because the location creates the genre of a film in such ways, for example, if it was located in a dark alley way or at night in general then you would get a sense of what to expect. If it was set in the daytime or near a beach then as a viewer you immeadietly assume there is going to be normal day to day action taking place like a conversation or an errand. We were very pleased with the shot were Hedley enters the room and grabs the chair and the way the camera sequence follows him along, however, the mistake we made here is that the you can hear the sound of the tripod moving in the background which makes it look quite tacky and unprofessional. The problem here was that the tripod itself was very stiff so caused the sound to be made; the microphone is also placed right next to the camera not the characters so the sound closer to the camera will be captured. To overcome this problem for future purposes we will need to use a better tripod where it moves slowly or record empty background noise and edit it over the footage to block out any unwanted sound such as the tripod moving. 
From 0.26 - 0.27 there's a jump cut straight into an over the shoulder shot of Muhammed and Hedley which captures the audiences attention as its a direct cut instead of fading in or cutting smoothly into another shot. It takes away any aspects of realism it had and brings the audience back from believing its a real film.
