The camera that we use for editing is a SONY HVR-1000 which is not a cheap piece of equipment. We did have a slight advantage of using this camera last year in our AS project so we were already aware on how to use the camera. We have very minimal problems, and due to us only filming in one location, which is inside, the microphone on this camera was more than good enough for the quality of our film. Ergo, this meant that we did not need to use a Zoom Recorder to record sound separately.
One slight problem that we have had this year would be the amount of tape space that we have used. Despite only being a 5 minute film, we did manage to fill our tape more than once, meaning that we had to over ride some of our previous footage. However, since our shots which we had done previously were already on the computer ready for editing, this means that we were able to rewind the tape and go back over previous footage. However, if we would have had it our way then we would have had more than one tape, so there was no risk of actually over riding footage.
When it comes to editing our film, we use Final Cut Express which is already installed onto the mac computers at our college. One thing that I like with final cut express is the ease of being able to just cut shots and put them next to each other, and if it wasn't for Final Cut Express we wouldn't have had the effect that allowed the character of Ryan to disappear. It allows us to export in the highest possible quality and we very rarely have problems when it comes to editing our film.
