Due to our initial location having poor lighting we decided to film in one of the history rooms instead, as in the senior study we could not see the faces of the actors in the video.
Our initial filmed product was filmed on a low quality camera on a low quality setting, this meant that the video was distorted and pixelated. Also the sound had heavy layers of static and the actors voices were hard to hear. On our second attempt we used a better camera and adjusted the settings to give us a better quality of footage, in our main task we will do this initially to allow us to move onto other tasks quicker and to save time.
We did not write a script for our preliminary task, and this made filming dialogue harder because of confusion over lines. In our main task we will make sure to have a script, this will hopefully make filming easier and quicker.
Due to extra time taken filming we did not have long to edit our footage, in our main task we will use our knowledge learned in our preliminary task to reduce the time taken planning and filming, this will give us longer to edit.
When we showed our footage to others, we received some helpful feedback. We were advised to use a tripod to steady our shots, as some were very shaky in our final task. Another thing we were advised to do was to try different cinematography techniques, as we used the same ones and didn't really vary them.
