Cut-aways

With our recent error shooting cutaways i thought i would write about what i have learned from my mistakes on my blog, we recently shot cut aways but didnt record the sound along with it!! Its impotant to record the sound even if you use voice over or music over the peice because your shot wont seem natural if there isnt any real sound to it!!! Ive also learned that its important to keep the continuity right for example if we shhot some one walking along to the left then the next shot they are walking towards the right it wouldnt look right, you need to be thinking what is going down on the tape at all times. In our documentary Hannah did one of interviews waering certain clothes as we didnt get the cutaways done properly we will need to make sure that she is wearing the same clothes as she was in the interview otherways the continuity will be wrong. remember you can never get enough cutaways becasue you never know what might need patching up in the edit so shoot as many as you can and you dont have to use them all.
