Preliminary Filming.

Our filimg process was pretty successful as we got all the shots and new shots that we learnt (match-on-action, eyeline and shot/reverse shot) that we wanted to have and the filming went how we planned it in our storyboard. From using the new shots I've learnt in this filimg, I am now confident to use them effectively for my coursework. The dialogue said by our characters worked really well as they gave the enthusiasm that would make it fit into our story that we decided to choose. As we had our location already planned it was easy to adapt to how we were going to film each shot in our location. In future, for my coursework filming as we have more time to film, I now know that it is better to pick a location out of school to make it more interesting and realistic but as we only had a short period of time to film we had little options where to go but still made good use of where to pick. One thing to make sure that you have got is actors for your filming!! As we could only film in one lesson we decided to use people from the school in sixth form. This gave us a small sample of people to choose from as they had to have a free period. Many people we asked did not have a free period so we had a limited choice of who we wanted to act for it and had to pick anyone we could find without being picky! The mise-en-scene for our location could have been better. For instance, the lighting wasn't as bright as we would have liked it to be and in one of our shots you can see the corner or of the tripod, which we did not realise until we had put all of our filming onto the computer. And the expressions on our actors could have been made slightly clearer to what they were trying to get across. Another do's to make sure when filming for the future is that your whole mise-en-scene is exactly how you want it to be.
