Production Report

How did the shoot go?

We had many shoot times mainly because the room we used was in use. But when we did get down to filming, it took a while but we got the shoot we needed from the angles needed.

What problems do you encountered?

Most of our problems came from the location most of the time when we had meetings in the room and it wasn't free. This left us with a limited time to use the room. Also it was hard to find a time when the whole group could do the filming in a free periods.

How did you overcome the problems?

We overcame the problems by keeping calm and making sure we know when the room was free so that we could use it whenever possible. Also planning ahead really worked for our group because if we planned when we needed to film people could manage their time more sufficiently.

How well did you work as a team?

I feel we worked as a team most of the time. But we disagreed a lot about the work. I think the work was distributed on what people’s strengths were. I think all the people in our group were happy with what they were doing and because everyone was happy we all got along.

What do you think of the footage you shot?

I think the footage was mostly good. But there was a lot of takes when people would mess up there lines or start laughing. Also most of the footage wasn't shot in the right order, which means there will be a lot of editing. But over all I can say I'm happy with footage that we shot.

Are there any areas for improvement in the technical execution?

I think we could have added more camera angles, for example we could have had really close up shots of their faces to express more emotion during the short film. Also there wasn't a good continuity editing situation in this film, but because we were working to deadlines we didn't have time to worry about the clothes the actors were wearing. I think this is an issue with the planning.

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

Watching the footage we have, there will be a lot of editing and cutting. We might have to re-film some of the scene because there was some background noise and needing those shot from different angles.

Have you abided by the rules of continuity?

I feel we have kept the continuity problems to a minim as people would remind others that they would need to be in the same clothes and say in the same position to keep the film looking continuous.
