Production Reflection

What were the main strengths of your product phrase?

During this week my original group (myself, Jannah and Usama) started of looking at the past videos that Usama, Matthew and I done during our break. We use Matthew as a substitute camera person due to Jannah being unavailable for most of the duration of filming. However Jannah did have some free time and worked with us.

Whilst we were looking back a the pass clips we noticed that the lighting of them were quite low, this was because there was not enough light in the room and you can tell it did not look right. We also notice that we needed to re-shoot some footage as it could have looked better and we also forgot to use some props in some of the shots.

I feel my group kept in contact extremely well throughout this week because finished filming on Thursday afternoon which was earlier then we planned. We use social network to keep each other informed on what stage we are at, for example when we were going to film in certain locations such as my house and any re-shoot locations and remind each other so we did not forget.

What challenges did you face during the production phrase and how did you overcome them?

On Tuesday afternoon I told everyone within my group to film with me at my house first, i made this decision because the time before we did it last the clip look too dim. So we decided as a group to go to my house first since we found out it will be raining soon and we did not want to hear the raining sound. The reason behind this is because the meeting location was classroom shed and the roof would have made a lot of sound. 

During this week asked Matthew Moore since Jannah said she would busy doing work experience during our break. However Matthew decided not to come on Saturday. I told Usama to film with me by my house that day since I knew that one person was available to help film in the house. This person was Elijah Mohammed.

What changes did you make form your planning? What was the impact of the changes?

We had to change location within our shooting script which was the exchange entrance and the police station we put the those shot in one location which was valentines park because we did not get permission to film there. The only problem this caused is by giving us less place to film.

What improvement would you make to your production process if you were to do it again?

The improvement I would make to production process if i was to do it again is that we make sure that we get permission to film in all location. Another is filming earlier so we have time to finish filming in locations in the first place.
