Group: What we learnt from our Brighton trip compared to wilderness woods

• More experienced when setting up to make it more efficient
• Had the shots planned out this time
• Trying to do something creative with the shot rather than just pulling off the shot
• Different angles even if we liked the shot
• More aware or considered of the misé en scene i.e. framing
• Link between practise and actual brief
• Took a lot more footage than we needed
• Planning, using time more effectively
• Urban location gave us a range of shots and settings to try out
• More ambition

• The group is pleased with the production this time round because not only was this a good opportunity to do a location reccie, but we managed to get some footage we might use in our actual production. The finished product showed us that we needed to get way more footage as we only managed to fill up the first third of the track, and even though we thought we had rather a lot of footage we only ended up using about half of it. Although we did not practise any performance or narrative in this trip, we did however film a few scenes with people (the group members) in just to get a feel for the sort of framing we want to use and what type of camera techniques we would want to use for the performance or narrative side of the video.
