Review of the shoot

Unit 5:  Review of Project

Date: Friday 19th October

Location: Leith house orchards - Burnham Thorpe

The crew and I arrived at the campsite at 10am, upon arrival we met the client and briefed her on the shooting schedule. Group B arrived at the same time and we discussed what hours we would share the actors and planned a suitable time for them to have breaks/lunch. After the client had set up the bell-tent, Group B took the actors at 11:30 for 1 hour during this time the crew set up the equipment, props, took a quick recce and captured cutaways.

At 13:45 we began to film the actual footage, during this time we were quick but made the best quality possible in the time we had, by 17:30 we had filmed everything bar the last scene by the campfire. This had to be filmed later to get the evening effect and a glow of warmth upon the skin of the actors. Ali (the director) and Sam (the producer) stayed behind and got a later lift home in order to film.

We did encounter a few minor step backs/problems throughout the day, the step backs being that Group B ran over their allocated time slots, therefore setting us back along with batteries dying, however the other problems were very minor and we overcame them with no issues.

The things i would do differently is; having the actors all day without sharing with another group, to use another location and maybe get some other angles in a scene, however the shoot went really well for the time we had allocated and the client was impressed with our work; therefore it was a really good shoot/day.
