HM: Reflection on shoot 1

when and where?

•  Woodlands Hever at my house.
• We started filming at 10:30 and finished at 4:30

What scenes were we focusing on?

We focused on all the scenes we could manage. Especially the psychiatrist and chase scenes. WE feel as a group that all scenes were covered but may need some more angles to incorporate more continuity into our opening scene.

What was my individual role in the shoot?

I acted as the psychiatrist who attempts to get to the root of Allen Daniels fears and problems. I also shot many of the scenes such as the chase scene dark scenes and part of the opening scene.

To what extent did your storyboard affect your camera and framing?

The storyboard gave us a very rough guideline of where to position the shot in the frame but not the angle.

What do I think work particularly well?

The dolly steadicam shot with the skateboard I felt went very successfully. I also felt some of the acting and storyline was clear and that we really captured those elements and ran away with them.

What challenges did you come across?

Camera angles in keeping reflections of people out of the shot and continuity in the filming while keeping it continuous.

How are we going to use this to influence our next shoot?

We are going to use lots of filler shots such as short reaction shots to portray the thoughts and feelings of the characters. Also to create a sense of continuity.
