Shoot 1

On Wednesday 21st we managed to shoot all planed shots. Filming went quite well as we managed to get a variety of shoots and most shots where steady. Our group had good communication skills and worked efficiently together which meant that we were able to establish what we needed to change, what worked well and what needed to be improved. However there are still some improvements that could be made.

These improvements included the following:

We decided that our inside shots of the corridor leading up to the door should be re-done, as they were done in too dark conditions and we feel it would be more effective if the shots were completed with brighter lighting conditions. Linking to this, we also thought that the positioning of camera during close up of hands wasn’t quite right and should be shot from the opposite side to what we did it on. The groups directing of the actor wasn't effective at all. Better acting is required when subject was washing hands and more direction needs to be given. E.g. needs to scrub hands harder when trying to get the blood off his hands.

Our slow zoom at the beginning of our piece needed much improvement in terms of speed and smoothness. In order to achieve this we plan to use a different camera with an easier zooming control. Finally we would like to improve the tilt. We plan to redo this and hold it for longer at the top to make it more effective.


In addition to this, we had also originally chosen James Hall and Georgia Bowers as our actor and actress in our film. However, neither was available for when we needed to film, consequently we had to change last minute and use Jonny Furze and Abbie Jones, instead.

However so far we are up to date, we have completed most of the outside shots and have re-done our inside shots.
