3RD DAY OF FILMING EVALUATION

3RD DAY OF FILMING EVALUATION

LOCATION: FREYA'S HOUSE. THE HOUSE OF THE MARRIED COUPLE.

What went well:

• Just like the other two filming days, everybody remembered that we had a filming day, and all members of the group arrived to the location of the shooting on time. Jessica was uncharge of the camera, and Freya was in charge of the tripod, and both did well to remember to bring them. Jessica was not only in charge of bring the camera, but she was also in charge of bringing the ready meal needed for the scene that we were shooting that day.  The group demonstrated good cooperation and everyone was efficient.
• Just like our last filming day, it was a continuation from a previous, therefore, all characters who featured in the previous scene had to have the same costume as they did before. Jessica and Robbie were in the previous scene before, and they both successfully remembered to where the exact same thing as they did before. By doing this, it eliminated all possible continuity errors that would make or opening sequence look sloppy or unrealistic. 
• All round, every group member had the confidence to contribute new and improved ideas to the team. Morale was high and due to this being our last filming day, everyone gave 100% effort to ensure that we pushed hard to complete the last section of our filming.

Problems we faced during the day:

Our solution for the lighting problem.

• From the first piece of filming that we shot, we immediately established that was a major lighting problem. The location of our scene had large wide open glass door that allow a very harsh amount  of lighting into the room. This affected our filming in such way that when we were shooting a characters face, it was very bright and made it difficult to see the characters facial features/appearance in general. This problem did waste a lot of our time as we couldn't find a solution, however in the end, we came up with the idea of two group members holding up a bed sheet against the window to block out the light. 
• The location we filmed our final scene on was located on a busy main road. This caused us some problems when we were filming a scene at the front of the house. The scene required the sister character knocking on the front door. However this was an issue due to the fact that we were not sure if the dialogue would be eclipsed by the noise of cars on the road. In the end, it wasn't too much of a problem, however we ares till yet to edit the footage to see how bad the problem is, and we wish to resolve the problem from there.
• Our final problem was the printing process. We had planned to film the husband printing out missing posters from the computer, before meeting the wife sister to go and hang them up. Although we had previously printed them out, we wanted to print some out to be the scene more realistic by filming the actually paper coming out of the printer. We were unable to this due to the fact that the inker in the printer wasn't full, so the picture did not come out smoothly, and was difficult to comprehend what the poster actually was. We eventually decided to just film the well-printed poster on the printer, giving the impression that its come out of the printer. 

All group members have done incredibly well throughout all 3 filming days in terms of organisation, efficiency, teamwork and contributing ideas. We faced some challenged problems, and due to the  fact that we were all inexperience, those problems  cause a lot of trouble. Many of these problems delayed the process of completing the filming, however as a team, we all worked together to find solutions for these problem, and all group member had an equal role in the success of our filming.
