Post 8: Production Report

In this post i will keep a log of how I felt the filming went. I will say what went right and the things that went wrong throughout the filming.

I think that the shooting went well, i think that we had enough time to do all of the filming that was needed. Where our location was, it had noise in the background of the other students that were around the room at the time, this was a disadvantage because while we were shooting you could hear students talking in the back ground, but this may give the effect of a doctors surgery of people in a waiting room. We overcome this problem by asking the students that were around to not talk as loud while we were shooting.
I think that in our filming there was too much headroom and the camera was moving a bit, this was a disadvantage. Also you can not hear one of the people talking in the sequence, it was very quiet and we would have to either re-shoot, or either do a voice over for the person that you could not hear.
I think that our group worked well as a team because we all listened to eachothers ideas and all had our own input. We all had different ideas and we tried them to see if they would work, an example of this is the angle of shooting, we would try all the different angles to see which we thought was the best and what worked well with the location. We were all patient with each other and helped each other.

After our group sat down and watched what we had done we all had to decide whether we thought this opening sequence was good enough and if it would come together. We all said that we did not think that the first shooting was good enough and came up with the disadvantages of the first time round and these were the location, camera angles and shots and also how loud it was. We decided it would be better to shoot it again.

On the second time round we found a better location which was in a new part of the school where it is quiet and will not cause other sounds while shooting. We also had organised ourselves better and thought trough the camera angles that we would use and the shot sizes. We also had a couple new ideas, such as a view of the paitient in the waiting room, we did this shot through a door and we also played music while this was happening to give an emotional effect.
We felt that this shoot went better than the first because the location was better and fit the scene, also we did the filming in less time because we were more organised and knew exactly what shots we needed and the angles of them.
