Production Report
The filming process took a total of nearly 2 hours, and consisted of the group collecting the equipment, walking down to the location, filming all the scenes and then returning the equipment back to the teacher with the tape we recorded on.
The filming process was reasonably easy and quick due to the fact that we practiced how to do the tracking shot and bought all pre production work to the location with us including the shot list to help us remember all the shots we had to shoot and in which order so we didn't miss anything out, however as a group we didn't stick to the shot list because we found perfect opportunities to add in our own shots that we felt reflected our genre better. We also felt the more shots we had in our project, the easier it would be when coming to edit, because this way we wouldn't need to re-shoot.
However as a group we did also have minor problems as there was a lot of traffic near the end of the school day from parents picking up their children from the primary and secondary school and children walking home, walking into our set and making noise, which did mean it was hard to shoot some scenes as we had to let the cars and peolpe pass. Also we did start shooting quite late due to the fact that we found it difficult to schedule the shooting when both teachers and all of our group were free and when working this out before shooting we didn't take into consideration that one of the teachers was on duty at lunch and couldn't come down to the location on time.
The group, throughout the task have worked well effectively and worked together as a team, during the post production we handled the tasks by splitting the tasks neading to be done and then coming together as a group and improving them to make them better, we started off aiming to do this routine in the production stage and originally set tasks for each other to complete but when coming to the production stage we felt that these tasks weren't suited for that person and we ended up switching roles so our strengths would be shown in the production.
Once we had looked at the raw unedited footage we had filmed we were pleased with what we had done, however some of the tracking shots started off well but near the end turned to an angle, this was due to the lack of and money equipment the school could provide, so as a group we decided that as an alternative the best option was for one of the crew to sit on a skateboard with the camera and two of the other crew members to push and pull him with a piece of rope, before actually filming the piece we practiced this and at the time seemed the best option, but as a group the outcome of the shot wasn't great but was the best option, without the right equipment.
Overall i think the production was a success due to careful planning and learning from our previous mistakes in the preliminary task, this also helped because we had changed groups from the preliminary task we all had different mistakes from the last time, giving us more to be aware of for this product. If we could change anything i feel we would have better equepment to gain some shots but as this was down to money problems i feel we did alright.
