Group: Shoot feedback 19/11/13

Strengths

• On this shoot we got plenty of shots: every action we filmed, we managed to capture multiple angles and not only does this mean we have enough footage to fill up the timeline, but it allows us to be flexible when editing as we have a range of angles or camera movements to chose from whilst deciding which shots to use.
• We managed to get a lot more done in a much shorter space of time during this shoot because we had planned ahead thoroughly and we knew exactly what shots needed to be filmed and how much of the total timeline this scene was going to fill up.
• We maintained continuity in all of our shots and made sure any unwanted mise en scene such as litter was out the way of the framing in this shoot. 

Weaknesses

• Only two of us shooting made it tricky to include many shots with both characters present without the shots themselves being filmed from a static tripod - this is something that is hard to overcome due to availability of others willing to get involved with our project.
• Despite us doing everything we could to ensure continuity was kept, we could not help the fact that one car left midway through our shoot and another parked next to the area we were using for filming. Although the car that left could not help being present/not present in the remainder of our shots, we feel it will not be noticed by the audience as they will be too concentrated on the meanings behind the narrative and the actual characters themselves to notice. We did well to not include the car that parked next to us in any of the shots we had left to do although this did limit our choice of angles and camera movement somewhat.
• There was only one location we filmed in - excluding the few outside shots of the rich character walking into the car park. However, we feel we used a good variety of shots and a good quantity of camera movement to make the singular location more exciting. Also this single location problem should be overcome during post production when we have footage from more locations to edit in as well to the track.
