FILMING UNSUCCESSFUL

 Our first film shoot turned out to be unsuccessful. We used the drama studio for our interview scene where three of the characters were being questioned. This was our original plan for our film opening however post filming, we realised this film was not good enough for the standards we wanted to achieve. Since this, we have changed the storyline to our film, however we still kept the same characters. From this unsuccessful shoot, we realised that we needed to be more time efficient with filming after being very close to running out of time. We also realised we can be more efficient with our production by planning out what we are going to film before actually filming. This means we could plan out our different camera angles and be familiar with how everything is going to work rather than turning up and figuring it out as we go. Not only would this make us more efficient, but it would turn out better as we would know what we would be doing. This also helps us in not wasting time on the shoot as we are limited with the times we can shoot so it is important we know what we are doing before we start filming our shots. Another thing we could have done differently is using another camera. By doing this it would be easier to achieve all the different angles that we wanted. It would also be better for the outcome of the film as having another camera would allow for a wider view of the whole scene and it would give us freedom to capture different shots and pick out the best ones so it gives us more options and more to work with.
