Feedback on Filming

Having completed our filming in one day, we decided to go and receive feedback from our teacher on our shots in case we needed to re-film any shots. We received both positive and negative feedback and we were told that our tracking shots and lighting was very good however it was suggested that the framing of our close-up of the characters eyes was not so great. It was also suggested that we should perhaps re-film the screen as the text types up as it looked very small and would have been potentially difficult to read. We decided not to re-film the close-up shot as we are aware that there are cropping facilities when we are planning to be editing however we decided that we ought to re-film the shot of the text typing up as were were able to do that at school and did not need to visit our filming location again.

Today we re-filmed the text tying up. We decided to film a few different shots of this so that we had different ones to choose from when it came to editing and we could choose the best and most appropriate one for our final film. We managed to complete this filming within around half an hour and we worked together really well. I learnt that it is much easier to have one person controlling the camera - particularly when using a dolly as it results in the most professional and effective final result. We are very pleased with how well this shot came out and it looks much better than our original version. I think that our overall filming process was very successful and our time management was very good and we hope to be as efficient when we begin to edit our opening.
