Evaluation of filming

In this lesson we went outside of the college to start the production process we went out as a whole class and each group of threes filmed what we wanted outside and filmed in different areas of the college while the other groups had to had to wait while the three who wanted to film outside did. My group split off with the substitute Callum Mount to film some scene that we desperately needed.


 Then we headed into the basement add filmed the scenes that went according to plan since we had a perfect opportunity to use the lift we needed, this is because everyone else was in lessons so we won't get any unnecessary characters in the shot as well as outside interference. After this we moved towards the main hallway in the basement level we did in all 5 shots for our second scene, it was hard to capture the video since the lighting wasn't in the right position and since the lights were in a fixed position we couldn't move them. so we tried to use some torches but from where we wanted them the light didn't shine that far so we had to film around the fixed lights. Another problem was that I had shots that require a lot of physical movements, so we had to retake a lot of the scene since the movements wouldn't add up together. The editing was a bother since we had to match up non diegetic sound to the actual film.

This was because that the non diegetic has to match up with the visuals. But in all it went swimmingly.However not everything went swimmingly since we had to re-shoot a single scene a bunch of times because of different factors such as non cast members on the set and getting the timing wrong this also includes a few minor injuries one of our actor sustained. If i have to change anything it would probably be the story since i believe it was over ambitious, so next time I will make a more tamed production that wouldn't need a bunch of difficult items to achieve it. I could of improve the camera work since there was shaking when the chase scene happened, I would of also improved my editing since a single audio clip went on longer than expected.

  1. Well done on your short film. Your group worked well together and have produced a creative, short film that shows good skills. You have become confident with the editing, which shows. Keep up the good work
