First of all we had to draw up storyboards and think of our scripts and camera shots. We had to be especially careful about camera shots, the reason for that was we had to fulfil the criteria given to us by our teacher.
After finalizing the first step we had to think of finding a suitable room to film it in, the room we went for was a business studies. The reason we chose this room was that it was a perfect location for our production, the location was exactly what we were looking for, the corridor outside was perfect for our opening shot.
When it comes to equipment we have used two camcorders and Apple’s MacBook Pros. We used Final Cut to edit our movie. Final cut is a great piece of software but at this stage there’s still a lot more we have to learn on how to use it, but our teacher posted some tutorials on his blog so it won’t be as difficult as it could be.
What went well? Well we executed the movie exactly the way we planned to. The difficulties were that it wasn’t as easy to find the room, we didn’t really thoroughly planned all the shots.
Overall I think that the project went well, however we didn’t really execute the shot with the profession that was expected from us, we broke a 180 degree rule, we didn’t really get and action match and in one part of a film there’s was a third person visible when it shouldn’t be.
We would definitely re-film the whole think and think of what we’re doing more. That’s the only improvement I would suggest
When we will film our main task we will think of camera shots more carefully because they are the key for the success, and also we would put much more time in planning it e.g. story boards, scripts and dialogues.
