When filming I have learnt that you need to film lots of footage so that you have a choice of footage to use when you edit it. The more footage you film the more likely it is that the final edit of the film will be better as you can choose the best footage and see what runs smoothest, or which one looks better. I have also learnt that you need to use a range of camera shots such as match on action, shot/reverse shot and close ups to make your filming and final edit better. You also need to use the 180 degree rule so that when you are filming and editing the film runs smoothly and doesn't look odd or backwards.
This filming practice has been very beneficial for me. I now know how important it is too get as much footage as possible when filming the opening two minutes of my film. If I don't get enough footage I will not be able to edit it together nicely and produce something that looks even slightly professional. If I get enough footage it also means that I have a range of footage that I can choose form when editing and can just cut bits that I don't want out.
