Post 8: Production Report

How did the shoot go? What problems do you encountered? How did you overcome the problems?

The shoot overall was okay, although we did encounter a few problems. During filming we didn’t leave long enough during the different shoots and after the characters spoke so once it came to editing it was difficult to cut them correctly and in a few speaking parts it was cut off too quickly at the end. Also once we had filmed most of it we accidently filmed over what we had previously shot at the beginning of the film.We overcame these problems quickly as a group by rescheduling to re record the parts which we had accidently filmed over and carried on editing to get it completed as quickly as possible.

 

 How well did you work as a team?

I thought that we worked well as group as we were able to divide the tasks equally and allowed members to do what they thought they could do best and complete quickly and to a standard that was needed. As a group we were able to listen to each other and each had an input into the project.

 

What do you think of the footage you shot?

Overall I think that our footage was a good standard for a first attempt at this as we managed to use all the correct camera angles that were required. Although some aspects of the film could be improved.

 

Are there any areas for improvement in the technical execution?

During filming we didn’t leave enough time between each shot. This would be something to improve on because it would make it easier for us to edit after and save us a lot of time trying to fix it.  Also some of our camera angles and shots could be improved, for example a shot we took was slightly blurred and slightly tilted so next time we have to make sure the camera is perfect and in focus ready for the shot. 

 

  Is there anything you will need to do now as a consequence of the footage you shot?

As a consequence of filming over some parts we had to re shoot a few scenes which took up extra time which we could have used for editing. Also a few shots haven’t gone together as we expected to we will either have to edit them a lot to make them work or have to re shoot. 

 

Have you abided by the rules of continuity?

Our group’s shoot has abided by the rules of continuity as we never crossed the 180 degree line and made sure that the mise-en-scene was the same when we had to re-shoot. We also made sure that we did what the preliminary tasked asked for, including 180 degree rule.
