Filming Review

I only filmed on one day - Thursday 28th of January.
Review of Filming:

What Worked Well? 
The locations were very good for what i wanting to achieve and looked very good on the camera. All locations were easily accessible meaning filming was easy on the day and gave us lots of time to re-shoot scenes to get them just right. Another thing that worked well was how comfortable my actor was whilst filming, this means all the shots look very natural and realistic.

What Didn't Work as Well?
One thing which didn't work as well was that because the scenes in the city were shot at evening/night, this meant that often lighting was poor so we had to pick the camera shots very carefully so that you could actually see what was going on. Also because i chose to shoot some of my sevens in the city it was reasonably busy and often this meant that some scenes we had to wait to shoot or shoot multiple times so that people weren't in the shot.

Anything That Might/Does Need to be Filmed Again?
One short scene does need to be filmed again. It is a shot of Reece (the main character) walking down some steps into an underpass. This was a very busy place so we had to wait a while to get the shot, once we did however we failed to notice that on the floor is the shadow of the camera on the tripod. Its not very noticeable however its a silly mistake and it needs to be filmed again. It is a relatively easy scene to film again as its very short and simple plus it was done at night in very normal weather conditions so it will be easy to replicate. It is also an easy location to get to for me and my actor therefore it won't be difficult to arrange to shoot again.

Did Everything Run Smoothly?
Yes everything went very well, apart from the one scene that needs shooting again and the city being busy.

Any Changes You Are Making?
No the filming went as planned and no changes were made during filming.

Any Ideas You Got as You Went Along?
No, i got a couple of ideas on what i could include in my narration but no ideas in terms the actual content of filming.

Did You Use Your Storyboards to Good Effect?
Yes, we both familiarised ourselves with the storyboards before hand so we knew exactly what was happening this meant that i didn't have to explain what we were doing whilst filming which meant we could get on and do it as quickly as possible.
