in camera editing evaluation
Overall i found it really hard to do in camera editing because in our task we were not aloud to do more than one take meaning you had to be very detailed with your planning in order to make the shots look smooth, .doing this task taught me a lot because it shows that you could do lot without editing and it encourages you to plan more before doing a shoot , on the other hand editing in my opinion would have been useful in our video for example whilst we were getting ready some music could have been played in the background and some sound effects could have also been put in to emphasis our emotions
