Problems, issues and successes
- 2. PROBLEMS WITH FILMING We had a few problems when we were filming on our first day , because we intended to use evening in our film and when it actually came to filming it was past 11 o’clock and so it was pitch black and the only light we had was a small torch which only lit up a few parts at a time. The camera we used was good but some of our shots were wobbly and it didn’t look professional so we bought a camera holder to make sure that the shots were stable. We intended on using a car in our production, so we got one but we had to try and get all the dialogue in one take so the car was really slow when you looked out the car window, so in the film we had to speed it up which made the shot look a little bit crude, as well as this we added a car engine sound which was wasn’t a diegetic sound because we had to add it onto the end.
- 3. ISSUES WITH FILMING We only had a few issues with the filming • Lighting • Car Scenes • Bad acting (before Re-shoots) • Actors relying on script too much whilst on camera • People looking at the camera when filming • Camera was unstable • Continuity (Charlie's trousers)
- 4. SUCCESSES WITH FILMING We produced a really good production out of the time we were allocated. We were really pleased with one of our shots because it worked really well when edited the flip- pan shot was our best because it was an interesting way to go between the shots without using a fade or cut. On the re-shoots our lighting was much better because we were well prepared and decided to film ours slightly earlier to make sure that the natural lighting we did use was good enough to illuminate our subjects and make the shot look a lot better. The acting in our re-shoot was substantially better than before because everybody was willing to make there characters more unique to the personality's that we provided because before they were all similar but on re-shoots Richards character was more dominant and Charlie's character more submissive.
