Post 8 Production Report

Section A
In this post i will keep a current log of how I felt the filming went. I will explain what went according to plan and the things that went wrong throughout the filming.
Including any obligations I feel the shoot went well we had enough appropriate time for the duration of the filming that was needed. One of the obligations that accrued was the noise level.  As the room we chose to film in was situated off of the common room and was surrounded by other students which tended to interrupted our filming. As we filmed throughout lunch time when the majority of students were in the common room, this caused us problems throughout filming as the student were also walking past the door, and because the door had a square window with glass in it, it ultimately effected filming. as students kept walking backward and forwards. I feel greatly that we had Issues when filming the establishing shot of the room as it was meant to look like a doctors surgery and we had used mise-en-scene, of props however it tended to look more like a school class room than a doctors surgery, when students were walking past they tended to appear on camera and the doctors surgery genre appearing less believable. The shoot took allot of thinking time, about where to position the camera and from this we had some trial runs to see where would be the best place to film as there was other equipment stored in the room which didn't fit into the theme of a doctors surgery. However to a result we decided to re film and change location because when we went to edit the noise levels was to much of an issue and became obvious that we needed to re film otherwise it would of taking allot of editing time, Also there was obvious signs of continuity in the first take. Also the disadvantages which appeared in the film was the camera angles and shots so therefore we decided to shoot again.

As a group we are much happier with the outcome of our footage it wasn't rushed or just thrown together we worked well as a group and are pleased with the outcome.
