Key notes of Improvements needed:
- location – less populated area – shots kept on getting disrupted by noisy neighbours and cars passing through making the dialogue inaudible.
- Time – Daylight was needed for some scenes but since its getting darker earlier, we had to rush out some scenes due to a lack of light. This may have led to plot inaccuracies when filming as it may appear lighter or darker in certain scenes.
- Certain shot types – We were limited on what we could attempt to film as we were restricted by our equipment. Not being able to create a Steadicam or effect or a smooth Ped effect.
What went well:
- Acting – Despite not being experienced, the acting in scenes wasn’t as robotic we thought it would be.
- Set Design – By clearing the kitchen we were able to create a direct opposition between my 2 characters.
- Technical Issues – When the camera suddenly only displayed our screen as a low exposure, I was able to fix the issue and resume filming.
